The trio brings a wealth of experiences in sustainable finance, energy efficiency and renewable energy development which would add great value to the CEBC activities and its members, said the council in a statement. 

 

CEBC pointed out that it has a very important role to play especially over the next two years as Egypt and the UAE will be hosting COP27 and COP28 respectively. 

 

This add a lot of responsibility on the CEBC to support the governments in the region to establish initiatives and partnerships with the private sector to show leadership and progress in the climate change agenda,
