About AGEDI
The Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI) was launched
under the guidance and patronage of His Highness Sheikh Halifax bin
Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, and was formed
at the United Nations World Summit for Sustainable Development in
Johannesburg in 2002 to address the local, regional and global responses
to the critical need for readily accessible, accurate environmental data and information for all
those who need it. Supported by Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) on a local level, and
championed by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), regionally and internationally.
AGEDI works to bridge the environmental data and information gap between developed and
developing countries. AGEDI works closely with international networks to facilitate and enhance
information exchange enabling more effective, accurate environmental decision-making.
AGEDI facilitated the implementation and engagement on the Abu Dhabi Blue Carbon
Demonstration Project . For more information, visit
