10 million trees to be planted for 10.6m UAE brand votes

The UAE Nation Brand has hit a record of 10.6 million votes from 185 countries as the campaign drew to a close. The logo that will represent the UAE and lead the country's inspiring story towards the next 50 years will soon be announced.

Voters have contributed to planting 10 million trees to empower communities in areas affected by climate change in Nepal and Indonesia, as the UAE had promised to plant a tree for every vote as part of the campaign.

The tree-planting seeks to contribute to safeguarding biodiversity, combating climate change, protecting the environment, and empowering vulnerable communities affected by climate change.

People across the globe cast their votes on one of three logos displayed on the UAE Nation Brand's official website. Forty-nine Emirati artists contributed to designing 'Emirates in Calligraphy', 'The Palm' and '7 Lines'.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, had invited people across the globe to take part in voting for the new logo to represent the UAE.
