Vision 2030
The year 2030 represents an important milestone for the
Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Baseline growth assumptions reveal
that Abu Dhabi could achieve tangible levels of economic
diversification by that time.
Economic diversification is common and fundamental to the
governments stated priority areas. The government wishes
to see the creation of higher value employment opportunities,
especially for Nationals, and maximize the participation of
men and women in the workforce. To encourage investment
and entrepreneurial activity, the Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 will
contribute by enhancing the business environment.
Today, Abu Dhabi is a thriving commercial and cultural
centre. Although rapid population growth and urban sprawl
pose key challenges for the future from the erosion of
the traditional Emirati lifestyle and unplanned development
in natural areas, to traffic congestion and shortages of
affordable housing.

We cherish our environment because it is an integral part of our country, our history
and our heritage. On land and in the sea, our forefathers lived and survived in this
environment. They were able to do so only because they recognized the need to conserve it, to
take from it only what they needed to live and to preserve it for succeeding generations.
