The DOT. Solution!

The DOT. helps remove the small portion of problem that accounts to causing much bigger issues in the world. The belief goes by working together on eliminating this dot-sized problem, which in return will help UAE rise much higher at a Global rank and make it a much better, sustainable place.
The problem lies in not "What the problem is", but instead on, "How can the problem be achieved successfully at short period of time". The DOT believes in solving problems with less time-consumption.
To eliminate this small ratio of chaos so as to UAE being able successfully achieve the SDG 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities, the country will have to give its focus to the Goal 11 targets.

accessible to all

Usage of electric cars should be promoted more. Governments should take the initiative to make electric cars accessible to all by taking down taxes on vehicles and making it cheaper with environmental friendly solutions. Initiatives should be taken to make UAE roads more sustainably developed. Better sustainable roads will help in rapid decrease of the amount of Carbon emmissions.

Reorganizing the old
infrastructures

Buildings generate about 28% of greenhouse gas emissions today. The UN Global Status Report projects that buildings need to be at least 30% more energy efficient.
How can we achieve that?
The path to reducing emissions by improving building energy efficiency can be paved with the framework of sense, act, and scale. We need to sense to ascertain efficiency gaps within buildings. We need solutions that act on the information to achieve energy savings. And finally, we need to scale solutions so they get implemented broadly.
