A top official from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) called on the international community to do more to embrace renewable energy at a conference on Monday, advocating an annual cut of 7% in emissions, while eliminating all emissions of methane.
“Houston, we have a problem and failure is not an option,” said UAE Industry and Advanced Technology Minister Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, who will lead international climate talks later this year as president-designate of the COP28 climate summit.
