The United Arab Emirates, which is hosting this year’s UN climate talks, has announced its plans for COP28 in November, stating its ambitions for a global agreement for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and hydrogen production in a bid to achieve net-zero by 2050. The COP28 president-designate, Sultan Al Jaber, highlighted the need to “match the highest ambition for the negotiated outcomes with an equally strong and robust action agenda that can implement those outcomes in the real world” and called for stakeholders to “disrupt business as usual” to accomplish the goals.
