“We have reflected this commitment by investing US$50 billion in Clean Energy across more than 40 countries around the world.

“The UAE also launched the ‘Mangrove Alliance for Climate’ in partnership with our friends in the Republic of Indonesia, and the Energy Transition Accelerator Financing (ETAF) platform in partnership with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

“As a global economic hub, the UAE will continue its concerted efforts to ensure more resilient and sustainable food and medical supply chains.

“The UAE is also committed, through its global trade network, aviation capabilities, and advanced logistics facilities, to support food security initiatives and goals.

His Highness concluded, “Thank you and I look forward to welcoming you to the UAE next year during COP 28.”
