Ewaa: Moments of Pride: Standing Up for Human Rights

Under the title “New Perspectives”, the Women’s World Majlis programme invites you to recognise a fundamental principle: when women thrive, humanity thrives.

The programme highlights the impact women have made on society and shines a light on their often forgotten contributions. By shifting perspectives, we embrace the infinite approaches to a more balanced world.

A common vision for a unique collaboration; sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Sharing this vision, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cartier celebrate women changemakers around the globe, asserting our conviction that innovative collaboration between the private sector, civil society and committed individuals is the pathway to meaningful change.

World Children’s Day: Specialist Event

Women play a critical role in rebuilding societies after crises, most notably in tackling climate change vulnerabilities, leveraging economic recovery and relief, and ending gender-based violence. But how well are women protected in fragile settings? And are they currently at the heart of post-conflict and crisis healing and rebuilding processes? This Women’s World Majlis will examine the ways in which women are leading the way in tolerance and inclusivity for greater peace and prosperity – for themselves, their families and their communities.

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.

This small tropical nation has had a colossal influence on international trade and travel for centuries – moving people, cargo and, more recently, digital data across oceans and between the Americas. The Panama Pavilion at Expo 2020 puts you right in the middle of the action with a virtual-reality cruise through its trademark Panama Canal, the man-made wonder that links the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. You’ll also time travel through an immersive tour of Panama’s history, explore exhibits on the nation’s forward-thinking sustainability and tourism initiatives, and savour delicious Panamanian dishes.
