The General Command of Abu Dhabi Police and the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). According to the two, this MoU is centred around environmental protection.
“This MoU aims to enhance the cooperation between the EAD and the General Command of Abu Dhabi Police and activate joint environmental initiatives to help achieve environmental security and prosperity for the community, in line with the directives of the Abu Dhabi government,” said Dr. Shaikha Al Dhaheri, Secretary-General of EAD.
As part of the partnership, the General Command of Abu Dhabi Police and EAD will establish a mechanism to control legal violations, and take measures that fall within their jurisdiction.
There will also be a focus on developing capabilities in the field of environmental protection, with a comprehensive training plan for relevant authorities to adopt best practices.
A joint platform will be established between the two parties to address key environmental challenges and activate control to protect and preserve the environment, EAD said in a statement this week.
There is also a plan to raise public awareness about environmental laws and their violations through awareness campaigns.
“As well as developing a plan to raise public awareness about environmental laws and their violations through awareness campaigns between the two parties, the application of functioning and developing smart monitoring systems will also be adopted,” said EAD.
