Dubai has been crowned the world’s cleanest city for the fifth year in a row, according to the Global Power City Index (GPCI) by Japan's Mori Memorial Foundation. The city scored a perfect 100% in cleanliness under the environment pillar, outperforming 47 global cities.

This achievement highlights Dubai’s dedication to sustainable urban development and high living standards. Key to this success is the Dubai Integrated Waste Management Strategy 2041, which aims to reduce waste production by 18% and divert 100% of waste from landfills.

Dubai Municipality, supported by over 3,200 cleanliness professionals and 855 advanced vehicles, operates year-round to maintain the city's impeccable standards. Daily cleaning efforts cover 2,400 km of roads, 33.4 km of waterways, and various residential, industrial, and public areas.

Innovative technologies, such as smart waste systems and electric vehicles, are central to the city’s sustainability initiatives. Acting Director General Marwan bin Ghalita praised teamwork, collaboration, and the UAE’s visionary leadership for driving Dubai’s consistent global excellence.

Dubai continues to set benchmarks for future cities, blending innovation, sustainability, and exceptional quality of life to remain the best place to live and work.
