At Expo 2020, sustainability is an urgent, attainable reality, and Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion is the proof. Both immersive exhibition space and exemplar of environmental self-sufficiency, Terra is a pioneering piece of architecture that pushes the limits of renewable design.

The pavilion’s 130-metre-wide solar canopy – so vast that you could park 10 city buses head-to-tail atop it – converts sunshine into electricity for the exhibits below. Artfully funnelled natural light and local plant species, together with technologies that can reduce water consumption by 75 per cent, show the way to a sustainable future.

Terra is a super-sized marvel of forward-thinking design. The pavilion’s technology generates enough energy in a year to power a Nissan Leaf to drive halfway to Mars, while another system captures moisture from the air you breathe and turns it into drinkable water. Enter and take a fantastical journey through the wonders of nature, humanity’s challenges and the promise of our shared future.

Georgia: Meeting with Georgian Authors

Women from the Arab and Muslim world have always pioneered in the field of education, from Fatima Al-Fihri, who established the world’s first university in Morocco the 9th century; to Sitt Al Sham, who sponsored the advancement of sciences and arts in Syria in the 12th century; to Princess Fatima Bint Ismail, who donated land and sponsored the building of Cairo University in 1914; to Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak, the mother of the United Arab Emirates, who prioritized the education of women and girls with the formation of the United Arab Emirates and supported free public education for all till today. Beyond the formal pillar of education, women also contributed to shaping knowledge, instilling values, and developing fields of art, literature and poetry. While Arabic poetry played a transformative role in history, women’s contributions were often overlooked. Throughout history, women were not only the inspirations and central figures of both oral or written literature, but also have taken major parts in the composition, narration and transmission of poetry, legends and stories. Spanning 7,000 years, from the sorrowful rithā’ (eulogies) of Khansa to the gleeful scorn of Wallada bint al-Mustakfi, from diwans (collected poems) to ghazal (love-song), Arab women boldly refused to be silenced. The vibrant words from Arab and Muslim women celebrate feminine wit and desire, pushed boundaries of social and cultural norms, and nurtured generations. Poetry has always prevailed in the Arab world, and women has spearheaded the movement since its dawn. From pre-islamic to Andalusian periods, beautiful and powerful females in the history of poetry have not only promoted the Islamic values and Arab culture to other parts of the world, but also inspired women's suffrage movements in the Arab region.

Knowledge drives our global community to innovate for a better future, be it advances in medicine, sustainability, technology and more. Our planet’s rich diversity brings forward the importance of creating, storing and transferring knowledge which spans across geographies, cultures and generations. 
During this Theme Week, Expo will present and celebrate the knowledge, culture and heritage of all our participating nations, bringing them together under the UAE’s Golden Jubilee theme of Human Solidarity. Topics of discussion will include intangible and tangible heritage, creative industries, and knowledge economies, among other things.
