UAE has become the first Gulf petro-state to commit to fully decarbonise its economy and reach net zero greenhouse

 

I admire how UAE previously committed to reduce its emissions 23.5% by 2030, compared to a business-as-usual baseline and to get 50% of its electricity from renewables and nuclear by 2050. 

In fact  UAE joins a number of advanced economies, and a few developing ones, in setting a 2050 net zero target and  the only country in the entire Middle East and North Africa region to be producing clean nuclear energy.  

This 2023   As the COP28 host, the UAE will aim to build consensus and coalitions to achieve a practical, pragmatic and just energy transition and reform land use and food systems, while scaling up adaptation and operationalising the new loss and damage fund my country  has established itself as a world-class destination for hosting high-level international events focusing on climate action and sustainable development. With a decades-long track record of investing in clean energy solutions both at home and around the world, the UAE is driving a new low-emissions economic growth model that aims to create new industries, skills and jobs needed for the future.

Infact UAE has appointed a strong and diverse leadership team to support practical, inclusive, and transformational progress towards a successful COP28. and will focus on sustainable development, collaboration, and cooperation with the international community, to ensure inclusion across all parties and to enable practical solutions that will bring long-term socioeconomic benefits to the region and the world.
