GCC Corporate Leadership at COP
For just the second time in its nearly 30‑year history, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP) will take place in an Arabian Gulf country. And as the UAE makes its final preparations to host COP28 in Dubai, the world's attention and scrutiny is turning to the region.
In this backdrop, business and political leaders from across the world, including Michael Bloomberg and US Climate Envoy John Kerry, have stressed the fundamental need to find climate solutions that encourage real progress in all nations and across all industries.
Many commentators highlight that much has changed in the region since Qatar hosted COP18, 11 years ago. Reducing carbon emissions and building a more sustainable future energy mix is at the heart of the diversification strategies being rolled out across the Gulf.
