November 22, 2021

During a virtual certification ceremony, the WCCD President and CEO, Dr. Patricia McCarney presented His Highness Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of the Ajman Executive Council, with the WCCD's ISO 37120 Platinum Certification. This highest level of certification follows Ajman's impressive efforts, following the reporting of over 90 of the 104 indicators within ISO 37120. 

"On behalf of the World Council on City Data, I am very pleased to present Ajman with WCCD ISO 37120 Platinum Level Certification. This highest level of WCCD certification demonstrates Ajman's commitment to a more sustainable, prosperous and inclusive future for its citizens," stated Dr. McCarney. Firstly, I want to congratulate His Highness Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi. Your leadership and commitment to this critical work are examples for cities worldwide. Additionally, I would like to extend congratulations to Dr. Hajar Saeed Al Hubaishi, Chief Executive Officer of the Ajman Statistics & Competitiveness Center and her entire team. This highest level of certification can be attributed to their dedication and commitment. As this important relationship between Ajman and the WCCD continues to grow, I look forward to our continued work together."

After thanking the WCCD for supporting the efforts of Ajman, His Highness also announced that Ajman will now pursue WCCD Early Adopter Certification under WCCD's ISO 37122 (Indicators for Smart Cities) and ISO 37123 (Indicators for Resilient). Once the Emirate has received all three certifications, it will be among a very small group of cities worldwide to achieve this accomplishment. 

This achievement comes as a continuation of the path of leadership and achievements pursued by the government of Ajman in applying the best global management practices. The Emirate also seeks to build strong and fruitful partnerships and cooperative relations in all fields and open prospects for mutual coordination globally by adopting an internationally approved framework that supports the Emirate's goals. 

The event received extensive media coverage in the UAE and across the Region.
