Dubai’s Madinat Jumeirah is set to welcome the climate and sustainability community on 26 and 27 November 2025 as it hosts the MENA edition of CARE—Climate Action & Renewable Energy Expo. The B2B summit offers a platform for governments, tech innovators, financiers and corporate leaders to converge around actionable decarbonisation and renewable energy strategies.

Under the global initiative of CARE, organised by Trescon, this two-day event will align industry ambition with practical climate action through executive dialogues, innovation showcases, and the ClimateTech World Cup pitch competition. It follows an earlier global kick-off and is the first in the MENA region, to be succeeded by editions in Riyadh in December and New Delhi in February.

Attendees can expect a rich programme of keynotes, panel discussions, interactive sessions and networking opportunities. Core themes include decarbonisation, renewable energy and CleanTech, green finance and ESG governance, sustainable urban development and infrastructure, water resilience, circular economy, climate-resilient agriculture and sustainable mobility.

The ClimateTech World Cup will bring early-stage startups into the spotlight, offering mentorship, global exposure and potential acceleration prospects. Organisers emphasise the event’s outcome-oriented design, aiming to move beyond ambition to deliver tangible climate solutions at scale.

The CARE Global Alliance, guiding the summit with strategic oversight, features distinguished sustainability leaders including Dr Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Amb Dunston P, Dr Ioannis Spanos, Maher Al Kaabi, Erik Solheim, and Julie Newman.

Event projections are ambitious. The broader CARE series is expected to attract over 10,000 participants, nearly 1,000 investors, more than 200 global speakers and 225 sponsors and exhibitors—positioning it as a leading convergence of climate-tech and sustainability sectors.

The summit arrives at a pivotal moment for energy transition in the region. MENA’s installed solar capacity stood at 24 GWAC in 2024, marking a 25 percent increase year-on-year, while projections indicate that figure may surpass 180 GW by 2030. The region’s aggressive investment in solar, wind and green hydrogen underscores the urgency and market readiness for the kinds of collaborations CARE aims to catalyse.
