Expo 2020 (Template:Lang-ar) is a World Expo, currently hosted by Dubai in the United Arab Emirates from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. Originally scheduled for 20 October 2020 to 10 April 2021, it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Despite being postponed, organizers kept the name Expo 2020 for marketing and branding purposes. It is the first time that a World Exposition has been postponed to a later date rather than cancelled. The Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) general assembly in Paris named Dubai as the host on 27 November 2013.

Organization

The main site of Expo 2020 Dubai is a 438-hectare area (1083 acres) located between the cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, near Dubai's southern border with Abu Dhabi.[4] The master plan, designed by the American firm HOK,[5] is organized around a central plaza, entitled Al Wasl, enclosed by three large thematic districts. Each one is dedicated to one of the sub-themes of Expo 2020 – Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability.[6] Dubai has also been emphasizing investments in various sectors such as economic growth, real estate, environmental avenues and public affairs. In recent times, Dubai has made major investments in real estate[7] and has introduced the world's largest solar power project, planned to begin by the start of Expo 2020.[8] The city of Dubai is also keen on giving equal prominence to public relationships. The initiative, titled the Dubai Happiness Agenda, has 16 programmes under four themes that sum up 82 projects to be set in the city with an aim to make the city the happiest by 2020.[9] The Dubai Expo 2020 is associated with a rise in the UAE's GDP, as predicted by the International Monetary Fund.[10][11]

Opening ceremony

The Expo 2020 was officially opened on 30 September 2021. The ceremony featured performances by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, British singer Ellie Goulding and Chinese pianist Lang Lang. The opening declaration was made by the Emir of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.[12]

Themes

The expo will have a theme called "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future". The expo will also have three subthemes: opportunity, mobility and sustainability,[6] each with its own pavilion. The Opportunity pavilion is designed by AGi Architects,[253] Mobility by Foster and Partners,[254] and Sustainability by Grimshaw Architects.[255]

In 2021 it was announced that the three thematic pavilions would open for a limited time before the full opening of the expo.[256] The Sustainability Pavilion Terra opened on 22 January 2021 until 10 April 2021.[257]

Sustainability

In the sustainability district in addition to the sustainability pavilion, there will be a Hammour House which explores coral reef; a district stage which seats 300 and Walk through a waterfall Brazil's national pavilion, Water the desert Czech Republic's, Enter a rainforest Singapore's, Wear cutting-edge devices Germany's, Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion UAE's pavilion and Enter a miniature world Netherlands's pavilion.[258]

The Opportunity pavilion is designed by AGi Architects.[260]

Mascots

There are 6 mascots: Salama, Rashid, Latifa, Alif, Opti, and Terra.[1] Rashid and Latifa are 9 and 8-year-old brother and sister; Salama, a ghaf tree; with Alif, Opti, and Terra being guardian mascots for the mobility, opportunity and sustainability pavilions respectively.[1]

Preparations

The emirate's tourism and hospitality sectors will face new opportunities and challenges in hosting the event. Najeeb Mohammad Saleh, head of the planning research at Dubai Municipality said "We looked at three different scenarios – low, medium and rapid. We have adopted the medium-growth scenario, and expect the population by 2020 to be about 2.8 million."[261] The upcoming Expo 2020 means that most premium hotels will be operating near full capacity through to 2021. Benjamin Moore Middle East is focussed on the UAE's luxury hospitality segment as the moment. By helping hotels upgrade the paints and coatings they use to more durable products, while simultaneously helping them reduce their maintenance costs.[262] The infrastructure of the 4.38 km2 Expo 2020 site was built by Orascom and BESIX.[263]

Partners

In order to raise awareness about smart recycling, Expo 2020 will organize nationwide bus tours with the waste partner Dulsco.[264]

L'Oreal is the expo's beauty partner, and will host immersive beauty shows, salons, and pop-up studios at the expo.[265]

Accenture is the expo's Digital Services Premier Partner.[266]

Cisco is the expo's Official Premier Digital Network Partner.[267]

CNN will be the official broadcaster for Dubai Expo 2020.[268]

DP World is the expo's Premier Global Trade Partner.[269]

Emergency care services at Expo 2020 site

The emergency centre includes an isolation room, emergency care room, ambulances and helicopter services. Rob Cooling, vice president of health, safety and environment at Expo 2020 Dubai stated in a media interview that equipment and preventive measures are in place to manage emergencies. The centre is equipped to provide immediate care and stability in the 'golden hour'. The golden hour in emergency care means the first sixty minutes after an injury or illness when medical care may be most effective.[270]

Developments

In November 2019, the UAE permitted Israeli passport holders to enter the country during Expo 2020. Israelis were allowed to have their own pavilion at the event and to even visit the country afterwards.[271] In August 2020, the UAE and Israel agreed to fully normalize relations, superseding the previous agreement.

The French luxury brand Cartier was expected to set up a women-centric pavilion in association with prominent human rights lawyer Amal Clooney in October 2020. Clooney was to lend her voice to the initiative to discuss the role of women in society and ways to tackle gender inequality, while celebrating female achievers.[272]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

See also: COVID-19 pandemic in the United Arab Emirates

In 2020, the globally expanding COVID-19 pandemic brought Expo 2020 Dubai under scrutiny, as the event was expected to attract nearly 25 million visitors in October that year.[273] In March, the Geneva Council for Rights and Liberties warned against the abuse and exploitation of migrant workers in the United Arab Emirates. While rest of the country was under a lockdown due to the spread of coronavirus, the migrants continued to work on Expo 2020. The Geneva Council condemned the “discriminatory treatment of migrant workers”, urging the WHO to encourage the UAE to ensure their health and safety.[274]

On 25 March 2020, a staff member was tested positive.[275]

On 30 March 2020, the expo indicated that it was investigating postponement of the world's fair, which would require a two thirds' majority agreement from a BIE annual general meeting.[276] On 4 April 2020, the BIE announced that a meeting of the executive committee would take place virtually on 21 April to discuss a proposal to hold the expo between 1 October 2021 and 31 March 2022.[277] A final decision would need a two thirds majority vote from BIE members.[277]

On 21 April, the executive committee unanimously agreed to delay the expo until 1 October 2021 – 31 March 2022,[278] with this then going to a remote vote of the general assembly.[278] There is no proposal to change the name of the expo.[278]

On 4 May 2020, the BIE announced that the threshold to agree a delay had been passed,[279][280] although the vote was to open until 29 May.[280] At 6pm Paris time, 29 May, the decision was confirmed, along with retention of the name Expo 2020 Dubai.[281] New dates have been announced 1 October 2021 – 31 March 2022.[282]

On 15 September 2021, organizers announced that visitors to Expo 2020 will be required to present a proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test taken within the previous 72 hours.[283]

World Chess Championship

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Chess Championship 2021 was rescheduled to take place between 24 November 2021 and 16 December 2021 as part of Expo 2020 Dubai. The match will feature reigning World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway taking on challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia, who was victorious in the 2020–21 Candidates Tournament.[284]

Criticism

A month before Expo 2020, the European Parliament passed a resolution against the event, urging its member states and other nations to not participate. Citing the human rights records of the UAE, the EU also called for the international companies, who were sponsoring the event, to withdraw their sponsorship. The EU stated that the Emirati construction firms and businesses had been exploiting the rights of the migrant workers by forcing them to sign untranslated agreements, confiscating their passports, and leaving them to work for long hours and live in unsanitary conditions.[285] The UAE rejected the resolution as "factually incorrect".[286]

Human Rights Watch said any parties connected with the Expo should use the event to raise human rights abuses in the country. In a statement, Michael Page, deputy Middle East director at HRW, said: "Dozens of UAE peaceful domestic critics have been arrested, railroaded in blatantly unfair trials, and condemned to many years in prison simply for trying to express their ideas on governance and human rights." Page called the event "yet another opportunity for the UAE to falsely present itself on the world stage as open, tolerant, and rights-respecting while shutting down the space for politics, public discourse, and activism", and called on participating countries to "ensure that they are not helping the UAE whitewash its image and obscure its abuses".[287]

Bids and bidding

Once the first city had lodged a bid with the BIE, other cities had six months to respond. In early 2011, Izmir of Turkey and Ayutthaya of Thailand submitted bids to the BIE, initiating the six-month window for other cities to bid. When this window closed on 2 November 2011, there were five prospective cities, with Dubai making a last-minute entry. The BIE voted and selected the host city on 27 November 2013.

Five cities originally bid for the slot for a world's fair in 2020, with four remaining: Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Yekaterinburg, Russia; Izmir, Turkey; or São Paulo, Brazil. Expo 2020 will represent a first as a Middle Eastern destination will be hosting the event for the first time.[288]

The following cities lodged bids to the BIE for hosting the 2020 EXPO:

São Paulo was eliminated from contention after the first round of votes. Izmir was knocked out in the second. Yekaterinburg lost to Dubai in the third and final round of voting.

Dubai Expo

The UAE selected the theme "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future" and the sub-themes Sustainability, Mobility and Opportunity.[294][295]

"In today’s highly interconnected world, a renewed vision of progress and development based on shared purpose and commitment is key. While a married human mind, an individual country, or a specific community is both unique and remarkable, it is by working collaboratively that we truly advance." Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said in support of the bid.

The World Expo in Dubai in 2020 will be the first to be held in the MENA & SA (Middle East and North Africa & South Asia) region. This gives opportunity to everyone around the world to access the daily futureastic interactions. On 27 November 2013, when Dubai won the right to host the expo 2020, fireworks erupted at the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa. A national holiday was declared the following day for all educational institutions across the country. The Dubai Ruler promised Dubai would "astonish the world," in 2020. The staging of the world fair and the preparations leading up to it are expected to result in 277,000 new jobs in the UAE, an injection of nearly $40 billion into the economy, and an increase in visitors of at least 25 million and up to 100 million.[296] Director General of Dubai Municipality, Hussain Nasser Lootah, said that they have the largest laboratory in the region, and can easily research new materials and technologies required for construction.[297] The world's tallest commercial tower to be built in Dubai, in Jumeirah Lake Towers, was given the name "Burj 2020" in honour of the World Expo 2020.[298] Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum also went to the top floor of the Burj Khalifa to wave the UAE flag, a few days after the World Expo 2020 win.[299]

Yekaterinburg Expo

The Russian bid The Global Mind would have run from 1 May to 31 October, and would have been the second-largest expo (after 2010 in Shanghai) and was intended to "survey world opinion through seven universal questions".[300]

İzmir Expo

The Turkish bid had a theme of New Routes to a Better World / Health for All and would have run from 30 April to 31 October.[301] A Health for All symposium was held in October 2013 for BIE delegates and was to discuss health issues across the world.[302]

São Paulo Expo

A Brazilian expo would have been called Power of Diversity, Harmony for Growth,[303] run from 15 May to 15 November, and would have covered 502 hectares.[304]

Ticket prices

Three types of passes can be booked: daily passes, monthly passes and seasonal passes. The daily pass is applicable for one day only, costing AED 95. The monthly pass offers unrestricted entry for 30 consecutive days and costs AED 195. The seasonal pass offers unlimited entry for the entire six months of the Expo and costs AED 495. Entry is free for children below the age of 18, students holding valid ID cards of recognised academic institutions, and visitors aged 60 and above. Tickets are also free for people of determination, with 50% off being offered for one caretaker. Tickets went on sale worldwide from 18 July 2021 at expo2020dubai.com.[305]
