WHAT IS ADSW

Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) is the UAE’s global platform for accelerating sustainable progress. Hosted by Masdar, ADSW brings together leaders from government, business, finance, and civil society to translate ambition into tangible impact across interconnected systems, water, food, energy, technology, and investment. For more than fifteen years, ADSW has stood at the intersection of policy, technology, and investment, turning ideas into action and advancing solutions that balance environmental stewardship, economic resilience, and social progress. ​

As the world’s leading platform for sustainability collaboration, ADSW convenes an unparalleled global community each January in Abu Dhabi, complemented by year-round initiatives, to connect stakeholders, scale solutions, and drive measurable progress toward a thriving, inclusive future.
