Abu Dhabi COASTAL ATLAS and Environmental Vulnerability Index

RPS has been working with the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi (EAD) for the development of a Coastal Resources Atlas and Environmental Vulnerability Index to support coastal management and planning in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi has identified the need to balance environmentally responsible management of coastal development projects with its exciting 2030 development activities. “Abu Dhabi 2030” is a long-term plan for the transformation of the Emirate’s economy, with a focus on significant infrastructure development and a growth in knowledge-based industries. Abu Dhabi 2030 is also complemented by other long term plans such as Economic 2030 and Environment 2030.
