GORD Showcases Its Solutions in Field of Energy Conservation, Combating Climate Change at Cairo Sustainable Energy Week

The Gulf Organisation for Research and Development (GORD) participated in the Cairo Sustainable Energy Week (CSEW) 2024 as a Sustainability Partner of the event. During the event, GORD is showcasing its green initiatives through presentations and exhibitions focused on promoting sustainable practices and climate action across various sectors. This includes initiatives supporting carbon offsetting, implementation of the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS) for sustainable built environment, organizing capacity building programs, and supporting research and development projects to find innovative and sustainable solutions to climate challenges facing the world. Speaking about GORDs participation, Founding Chairman, Dr. Yousef Alhorr said, "At GORD, we recognize that the energy transition is indispensable for the MENA region, not only to enhance energy security but also to combat climate change and foster economic growth. By participating in Cairo Sustainable Energy Week 2024, we hope to collaborate with global partners, aiming to drive sustainable practices that will lead to a resilient and low-carbon future for our region." At its booth, GORD showcased sustainability solutions and innovations related to energy performance assessment for all types of buildings. This included Energia Suite, which has been developed as a cost-effective alternative to complex energy simulation tools. Additionally, GORD presented its Climate Action Center of Excellence (CACE), which aims to accelerate the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. CACE offers high-impact solutions to support governments and the private sector in accelerating the implementation of the Paris Agreement and achieving the essential goal of decarbonization by mid-century. It provides countries with technical assistance to enter carbon markets, and facilitates the reduction and removal of emissions by mobilizing climate finance, providing value for money for investors, and generating new projects. The Cairo Sustainable Energy Week will feature over 30 panel discussions, with 150 speakers including decision-makers, policymakers, energy planners, resource managers, network operators, industry leaders, investors, and experts. A key highlight of the event is the Sustainable Energy Conference 2024, providing a platform for discussions on critical topics such as robust energy systems, resource management, and renewable energy adoption in the MENA region.
