Study highlights need for new tools, policies and collaboration to tackle climate change

Governments in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) need to adopt new tools and policies and collaborate in order to transition into a low-carbon economy, a new report has confirmed.

“The Mena region has an opportunity to capitalise on its resources, create jobs and tackle climate change, but this will require much greater investment from the private sector,” said Jeffrey Beyer, managing director of UAE-based consultancy Zest Associates, who co-authored the new report, which Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG) published.
