Other heads of state and government present at the event included those from Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, Palau, South Korea, Azerbaijan, Uganda and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

The Zayed Sustainability Prize Award Ceremony was also held alongside the opening ceremony. The prize was established in 2008 and is the UAE\u2019s pioneering global award for recognising excellence in sustainability.

In December 2022, a 5-megawatt solar farm was inaugurated on Seychelles’ man-made island, Ile de Romainville, which was financed mainly through a loan from the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), which was again a projected developed in cooperation with Masdar.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Seychelles is aiming to develop further projects so that it can achieve its target of 15 percent renewable energy by 2030.<\/p>\n
