The country is now a regional energy and sustainability leader, as the first among its neighbors to pledge national emissions reductions, while committing billions towards a clean energy transition across the world. The UAE has grown and diversified its economy, creating knowledge, skills, and jobs for its young people, while contributing practical solutions to a global problem that affects us all.
