Dubai, United Arab Emirates: The International Humanitarian City (IHC) witnessed a successful deal inked with the Carbon Ambassadors. As per the MoU, the IHC has agreed to provide construction space to Consolidated Constructions Company (CCC) which will be working on the Carbon Ambassador’s sustainable bus stops project.

“The programme has gathered a lot of steam recently, and the Ambassadors have shown tremendous resolve and forward-thinking attitude to get the sustainable bus stop project up and running. All the partners and stakeholders are also playing a tremendous part, and the MoU signed with IHC is a positive step towards the fruition of this project. We had the company ready to construct the structures but lacked a viable space to carry it out. Now, we are completely equipped and raring to go. I wish the Carbon Ambassadors all the best in this project,” HE Waleed Salman, Chairman, Dubai Carbon.
