YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe United Arab Emirates has named Sultan al Jaber, head of the national oil company, as president for the COP28 climate summit that will be held in Dubai later this year.
Al Jaber is also the UAE’s special envoy on climate change and key to the OPEC member’s goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. The UAE was the first nation in the oil- and gas-rich Persian Gulf to set such a target.
COP28 will take place from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12. The president has a crucial role in setting the agenda and forging a consensus among the different nations.
The UAE and neighboring Saudi Arabia have argued that oil-producing companies and states should be given a bigger say in global climate talks. They’ve also blamed the surge in fossil fuel prices in the past two years partly on western nations discouraging investments in new projects.
The UAE will “take an inclusive approach that engages all stakeholders from the public and private sector,” al Jaber said in a statement. “The UAE is well-positioned to build bridges, foster consensus and bring the world together in one shared mission to keep 1.5C alive,” he said, referring to the ambition of capping global warming by that amount.
