World must cut emissions by 43%, Dr Sultan Al Jaber tells IEA Cop conference – The National

Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, UAE Special Envoy for Climate Change and Cop28 President-designate, on Thursday laid out the scale of the worldwide challenge presented by climate change.

He attended a special roundtable in Paris of ambassadors representing OECD countries and developing economies that together are responsible for 80 per cent of global emissions, in the run-up to the UAE hosting Cop28 later this year.

“This Cop marks the first global stocktake since the Paris Agreement, and its conclusions are not in doubt. We are way off track," he said.
