    Early life[edit]

    Al Mubarak was born in 1979 in Abu Dhabi.[3] She is the daughter of Khalifa Ahmed Abdulaziz Al-Mubarak,[4] a former UAE ambassador to France who was assassinated in 1984 in Paris by the Abu Nidal Organization terrorist group,[5] and Sameera Al Khamis. Al Mubarak's grandfather was Ahmed Abdulaziz Hamad Al-Mubarak, former judge and chairperson of the Shari'a Judicial Department in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.[6] Al Mubarak has three siblings: Rasha; Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, Managing Director of Mubadala Investment Company; and Mohamed Khalifa Al-Mubarak, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority.

    Al Mubarak holds an M.Sc. in Public Understanding of Environmental Change from the University College London and a BA in Environmental Studies and International Relations from Tufts University.[7][8]

    Career[edit]

    In 2001, Al Mubarak helped establish Emirates Nature–WWF (EN–WWF)—a UAE affiliate of the WWF.[9] She is its Managing Director.[9] In 2008, she became the founding Managing Director of the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund (MBZ Fund).[3]

    She is the managing director of the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD).[1][10] Appointed in 2011,[9] she was the first woman[11] to serve as secretary general and was promoted to its board of directors in 2018 by the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.[12] Under Al Mubarak, the EAD played a key role to reintroduce the scimitar-horned oryx into the wild in Chad.[13]

    She is on the board of the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation and the International Center for Biosaline Agriculture.[14][15] In addition, she serves as an Advisory Board member of the Rockefeller Foundation Economic Council on Planetary Health,[16] the Cambridge Conservation Initiative,[17] the Emirates Diplomatic Academy,[18] a board member of Panthera,[19][7] and Board Member to the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF).[20]

    In September 2021, she was elected as the president of International Union for Conservation of Nature for a 4-year term, becoming the second woman to be elected to lead the organization in the organization's history.[21] In 2013, the Abu Dhabi American Chamber of Commerce awarded Al Mubarak the "Women in Business".[22][23] In 2018, the World Economic Forum appointed her as a Young Global Leader of the Forum.[24][25]

    Publications[edit]

    Al Mubarak together with the advisory board of the MBZ Fund published an article in the journal Current Biology about the importance and benefits of species, which argued that species cannot be evaluated based on their economic value alone and should be understood for their cultural and inherent value as living organisms.[26]

    Personal life[edit]

    Al Mubarak is married to Badr Jafar, an Emirati businessperson.[27] They are signatories to Bill and Melinda Gates' and Warren Buffett's "The Giving Pledge".[27] They have publicly committed more than half of their wealth to philanthropy.[27][28]
