My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

1. Promote green transportation by expanding the use of electric vehicles (EVs), introducing hydrogen as an alternate fuel for vehicles and improving public transportation infrastructure to help the city achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

2. Build sustainable, resilient cities of the future by Integrating energy-efficient building practices and designs in the ongoing urban development to help create more green spaces and improve the quality of living for the residents. The public and private sectors need to work together to ensure new buildings and other infrastructure projects in the city reduce electricity consumption and adopt more sustainable practices.

3. Promote water conservation and fresh water supply by implementing advanced water management systems and technologies. Desalination plants and water recycling methods need to be adopted to increase fresh water and avoid wastage.
