International energy organisations, officials offer full support to UAE COP28 Presidency

ABU DHABI, 30th May, 2023 (WAM) -- International energy organisations and officials have affirmed their unwavering support to the UAE’s inclusive approach to this year’s COP 28 and to its President-Designate, Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology.

“The UAE is a recognised global leader in tackling the challenges related to energy, climate change and sustainable development. Not only in words, but also in its actions with major investments into the development and deployment of renewables and technologies focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said OPEC in a statement.

“Dr. Al Jaber is a well-respected and renowned global energy leader. As Chairman of Masdar and Group CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), he has guided Masdar into becoming a global leader in renewables and continues to lead ADNOC on an unprecedented decarbonisation path, with ADNOC today having some of the lowest emissions per barrel of oil produced globally,” added the statement, published on the organisation's website.

“OPEC believes that COP28 needs every voice at the table to achieve practical, pragmatic and realistic solutions. We wish the UAE and Dr. Al Jaber every success.”
