His Highness Lt General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, attended the latest Majlis Mohamed bin Zayed lecture, titled ‘Advancing Technologies for a Climate Resilient Future’.

The lecture was presented by Dr Sharron McPherson, a strategic advisor to governments and corporations and a ‘social impact’ entrepreneur with a focus on green infrastructure, renewable energy and food security.

Dr McPherson’s talk began by referencing the UAE’s hosting of COP28, which, she said, comes at a pivotal time for humanity. She talked of the key role being played by the UAE in convening a meeting of the countries of the world and facilitating collaboration to address the challenges of climate change.

Dr McPherson then drew on some of her own personal experience as a former Wall Street banker working on complex energy and infrastructure deals, to discuss the importance of involving all stakeholders — especially the community — in decisions that could have wide-ranging impacts.

She referenced how this resonates with the UAE’s view on the importance of promoting economic and social development for all.
