Dr Sultan Al Jaber, President-designate of the Cop28 summit, has called on G7 nations to lead by example and make climate finance more accessible and affordable, to speed up the energy transition.

Addressing the Joint meeting of G7 Ministers of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Dr Al Jaber said the world was falling behind on its climate commitments.

“To get where we need to go, everyone must pull in the same direction,” said Dr Al Jaber, who is also the UAE's Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology.
