Accelerating Climate Action: UAE Climate Tech Forum Brings Together Global Leaders to Drive Decarbonisation

-

 

The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) in partnership with ADNOC and Masdar is set to host the UAE Climate Tech forum on May 10th and 11th. The forum aims to bring together over 1,000 global policymakers, CEOs, experts, academics, technology leaders, pioneering disruptors, and investors to enable dialogue and collaboration on innovations and economic opportunities in speeding up decarbonisation across industries.

The forum's main goal is to accelerate efforts to reduce emissions by at least 43% by 2030. The UAE has been a major investor in climate action, with ADNOC's $15bn allocation to low-carbon solutions and Masdar targeting 100 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

The forum will highlight a range of technologies, including carbon capture, AI, robotics, digitalisation, hydrogen, alternative fuels, and new and low-carbon energy solutions for oil and gas and hard-to-abate sectors. The MoIAT is creating strategies to encourage companies in the country to enhance production methods to incorporate decarbonisation, incentivising the creation of new businesses that prioritise decarbonisation and spreading awareness of green regulations and standards.

The forum will also showcase the UAE's efforts in driving technology adoption and development to accelerate decarbonisation and create the green industries of the future, including climate-critical sectors like renewables, hydrogen, climate-smart agriculture, and STEM education.

This forum is significant as it will contribute to the global efforts towards mitigating climate change, which is a pressing issue affecting the planet. The UAE's commitment to this issue is commendable, and this forum is a testament to its efforts to accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon economy. The forum will enable policymakers and industry leaders to share knowledge, insights, and ideas on how to mitigate climate change while still ensuring economic growth.

In conclusion, the UAE Climate Tech forum is a great initiative that shows the UAE's commitment to fighting climate change. The forum will enable industry leaders to exchange ideas and collaborate on solutions that can help to reduce emissions and build a more sustainable future. This is a positive step towards achieving the goals set out in the Paris Agreement, and it is hoped that the forum will inspire other countries and companies to take similar actions towards achieving a sustainable future.
