On November 30th, 2023, the world will unite for #COP28UAE; signaling the start of a 7-year sprint to reduce emissions by 43% by 2030.
There is still time, but the clock is ticking, and the hour grows ever later. Let’s get to work. Together. #UniteActDeliver #ClimateAction

Outlining the #COP28 action plan during his address at the 7th #MOCA in Brussels today, #DrSultanAlJaber stated that this plan “came from listening to and engaging with all of you... and can only be realized by all of you. The key to its success rests on what you do next”.

As Mike Bloomberg highlights COP28 UAE is focused on inclusive dialogue with all parties to fight climate change #COP28UAE

[Mike Bloomberg @MikeBloomberg]

Fossil fuel producers must accept climate change and join the clean energy transition. With Dr. Sultan Al Jaber and the UAE at the table for @COP28_UAE, we have an opportunity for progress — and calls to reject their engagement are counter-productive.

Very good to have met 🇦🇪 Minister Al Jabar at #UNGA

As the first in the region to go for #NetZero by 2050 and with an updated, ambitious 2030 target, the UAE are committed to lead on the climate and energy transition.

I look forward to working together on the way to #COP28.

[Office Of The UAE Special Envoy For Climate Change @uaeclimateenvoy]

Global cooperation is key to #ClimateAction! In its landmark 2022 #BreakthroughAgenda report, the @IEA, @IRENA and @UN find that $1 trillion in #RenewableEenergy investments are needed by 2030 to expedite the #EnergyTransition and tackle #ClimateChange

[Office Of The UAE Special Envoy For Climate Change @uaeclimateenvoy]

HE Dr. Sultan Al Jaber today met with @AmosHochstein, Presidential Coordinator from @StateDept. The meeting touched on the strong partnerships between 🇦🇪 🇺🇸 in progressive climate action and building #EnergySecurity through a bold but realistic energy transition. #UNGA77

[Office Of The UAE Special Envoy For Climate Change @uaeclimateenvoy]

The world needs an #EnergyTransition that will accelerate progress for people, the economy & climate, said H.E. Dr Sultan Al Jaber in a meeting with @BillGates on @Breakthrough’s progress on sustainable energy innovation & the UAE’s zero-carbon energy solutions. #UNGA77

[Office Of The UAE Special Envoy For Climate Change @uaeclimateenvoy]

The #ParisAgreement was a historic moment, not least because of the work of @CFigueres, the former @UNFCCC Executive Secretary. Today, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber and @CFigueres discussed practical opportunities to turn ambition into implementation on the road to #COP28UAE. #UNGA77
