A new center dedicated to preparing and infordubming UAE policy makers on climate change has been launched in Abu Dhabi ahead of Cop28 later this year. The aim of the center is to advance effective research to inform the country's policies on climate action plans.
It will serve as a regional hub for climate research by working with academic groups and think tanks in the Middle East, as well as hold information sessions for government officials. The center also hopes to forge links between the private and public sectors in projects that focus on finding solutions and reducing carbon emissions.
Ambassador Nasser Kamel, Secretary-General of the Union for the Mediterranean, has highlighted the significance of the upcoming 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) in unifying collective efforts to reduce global carbon emissions.
The Secretary-General of the Union for the Mediterranean stressed the significance of COP28 in addressing climate change issues, noting that it will be a pivotal and exceptional edition this year, expressing his full confidence that the conference will be one of the most successful.
Kamel stated that the UAE had presented a unique model in terms of its plans to reduce carbon emissions and achieve the goals of the international community to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
He stressed that the United Arab Emirates is characterized by its vast logistical capacity and ability to host essential and major conferences and events.
