Captain Abdul Nasser Hassan Rashid Al Zaabi, form the Police College obtained a PhD degree from the College of Law at the University of Sharjah, for his thesis titled “the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)”.

Moreover, hosting IRENA’s new headquarters would pave the way to further relations of cooperation; and allow leadership in the renewable energy bid. It would also provide the UAE with ability to face the different challenges to its leading position in the renewable energy usage, such as the legislative, coordinative, and investment-related challenges,” he said.

He also called for establishing the Federal Renewable Energy Authority; drafting a federal legislation to regulate and control the use of renewable energy in the country.
