Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week is a week-long global platform that brings together leaders from government, business and civil society to drive conversations and actions on sustainable development. The forum serves as a hub for mobilising ideas, partnerships and investments aimed at shaping the future of global sustainability efforts.
The 2026 edition of the summit is being held under the theme, “The Nexus of Next: All Systems Go,” with a strong focus on translating ambition into practical action across innovation, finance and people. The event is also expected to highlight pathways for countries and institutions to move forward with confidence in a rapidly changing global environment.
President Tinubu’s participation is expected to project Nigeria’s perspectives on sustainability, energy transition and inclusive development on the global stage, while also opening avenues for engagement with international leaders and potential investment partners.
The President is expected to return to Nigeria after the conclusion of the summit.
