Our Story

Growing the Green Economy

UICCA is an independent nonprofit organisation.

We ask bold questions to find new ways for the environment and economy to work together: What if people had a more conscious and responsible relationship with nature? What if sustainable choices were our default options? What if every person had access to clean air, food, and water?

We incubate new climate technology, collaborate with organisations that share our vision, and facilitate meaningful conversations across sectors.

Founded on Sustainability

UICCA was founded and is led by Her Highness Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, a global climate leader who helms several entities addressing climate change, sustainability, and gender equity.

She believes a sustainable future requires unprecedented collaboration between governments, civil society, and the private sector.

UICCA is designed to fill in the gaps and address the most persistent challenges that prevent the UAE from making progress on climate action.

The UICCA startup community represents the best and brightest climate entrepreneurs in the UAE.

From carbon capture to electrification, we look for entrepreneurs and startups working on solutions that will have an outsize impact in the fight against climate change. We provide targeted support to help them raise capital, pilot their technology, and scale their impact. Explore the calendar for upcoming Innovation Workshops and networking events.
