"As we reach critical threshold for climate change, commercial operation of Unit 2 of Barakah represents a significant milestone in UAE’s transition to clean energy," Al Nuaimi said in a statement today.
"The UN’s recent IPCC report has highlighted that the world faces a critical and urgent need to fast-track climate action as a global rise in temperatures, primarily due to carbon emissions, is triggering increasingly more challenging weather conditions."
He added that one of the best ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions at a macro level is by transitioning to cleaner energy sources. The brief from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe highlighted that international climate objectives won’t be met without nuclear energy.
He expressed the pride that the UAE government has been investing in clean energy sources for many years to make this transition a reality today.
