Introduction To Abu Dhabi – A Cool City

Global warming is a term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth’s surface and oceans. In Asia, were now a day Asian countries are developing rapidly like the Gulf countries specially the UAE which is believed to have the largest carbon footprint. However, carbon footprint is a way to measure or evaluate our way of working, eating, and travel in terms of actions which cause global warming. Therefore, UAE or Abu Dhabi in specific is making a big action in developing their environmentally friendly actions by building “Masdar City”. Moreover, “Masdar City” will focus on solar energy with zero carbon which will reduce the build up of CO2 in the country’s atmosphere. Also it will have zero waste which will reduce the pollution caused by discarded products. In addition to that, it will have a sustainable transport. Hence, Abu Dhabi is one of the cool cities which had made a promise to try to control global warming. In this project I will write about global warming, our carbon footprints, and cool cities using critical thinking and the six hats.
