Mar 07, 2011 20:24 EAT

Abu Dhabi is ramping up to transform 57,689 villas into green and sustainable buildings. H.H. Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan ordered the scaling and acceleration after he saw the process and mass collaboration model that Queen of Green developed to shift Abu Dhabi and UAE from Policy into practice. The Queen of Green 14 step process is beyond all current international standards and targets. Gill Wallace Hope, Founding Director of Queen of Green has worked for UAE since 2007 from Capitol Hill, Washington DC where she studied the Energy, Health, and Food Security challenges in UAE. In 29 months she and her international team have listened to all the myths, excuses, challenges, and overcome huge obstacles to launch the first mass collaboration program in UAE. Hope has re-wired the UAE resources into a network and connected global policies from the UN and Washington DC, green technology inventors and manufacturers from all around the world with local women and youth who will drive the transformation from the grassroots. H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the first ruler to remove all UAE government paperwork processes which cause long delays, increase costs and demotivate the participants. Villa owners and landlords will register their Villa for a Queen of Green makeover from their mobile phones. Developers, landlords and employers are excited about reducing their energy costs by 85%, reducing waste, meeting their CSR targets, becoming more sustainable and telling a new story to their tenants. One Emerati landlord has ordered 100 Villas to receive a Queen of Green makeover. A property developer wants Queen of Green to makeover 1200 Villas so they can attract and retain new tenants and a contracting company has made 300 men available for an immediate start. Abu Dhabi is the first Emirate to make real-time decisions to improve energy, health, food and environmental security.

Hope says Unconditional faith to bring 21st century development into alignment with the environmental teachings in the Holy Quran is what drives my leadership. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of UAE, had a vision of balancing development and nature founded now all citizens and residents have the opportunity to collaborate...to make everyones home paradise on earth. Queen of Green is a global network of green stakeholders from 29 diverse sectors who share a common goal of transforming their world. Ambassador Hope has developed a Social Investment Portfolio of 14 programs to empower the poor in 70+ countries. She passionately believes in empowering the talent and skills of the poorest of the poor to become green and sustainable. By integrating the development process to ensure energy, food, and health security is combined with education and micro-enterprises for economic security it is possible to mobilize millions of citizens to be the change they want to see in the world.
