HE Saeed Al Tayer receives CEO of COP28

Dubai, UAE: HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), received HE Adnan Ameen, CEO of the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28). The two sides discussed ways to enhance cooperation and reviewed DEWA’s efforts to support the UAE’s hosting of COP28, the largest international climate action event at Expo City Dubai later this year. By enhancing work with all parties and partners, COP28 will build on the outcomes of the Paris Agreement to keep the rise in the global average temperature this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Al Tayer explained that COP28 is significant with the declaration of HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, of 2023 as the ‘Year of Sustainability’ in the UAE under the theme ‘Today for Tomorrow’. HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said that COP28 would be the most important event hosted by the nation in 2023 and that they were confident that the UAE would organise the most successful global environmental conference.
