216,500 new trees planted to make the city more beautiful and sustainable

Dubai is growing greener every day. In 2024, Dubai Municipality planted 216,500 new trees, marking a 17% increase from the previous year. This initiative is a key step towards making Dubai more beautiful and liveable while reinforcing its commitment to sustainability under the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033.

Expanding the emirate’s green spaces by 391.5 hectares (a 57% growth from 2023), this initiative enhances the urban landscape, improves air quality, and contributes to Dubai’s resilience against climate change. Through this initiative, 165 beautification projects were completed, adding lush greenery to residential areas, roads, parks, and public spaces.

Beyond planting trees, Dubai Municipality introduced advanced irrigation systems powered entirely by recycled water, ensuring a sustainable approach to urban greening. Indigenous species like Ghaf, Sidr, and Samar, alongside ornamental plants and palm trees, now flourish across the city, enhancing Dubai’s unique character.

These efforts reflect Dubai Municipality’s vision of a greener, more sustainable, and beautiful city, one where urban beauty meets environmental responsibility. As green spaces continue to expand, Dubai remains a global leader in innovative urban development, making the city more vibrant and welcoming for residents and visitors alike.
