  • United Arab Emirate (UAE) says it is delivering a big shift that has the potential to "redefine our economies", which for decades have been defined by oil
  • Some big promises:  
  1. UAE Consensus wants to triple renewables and double energy efficiency globally by 2030
  2. Accelerate the phase-down of unabated coal power
  3. Get more oil and gas companies to step-up and address methane and emissions
  • Pressing and promising goals from Dubai while burning of coal, oil and gas remain the largest contributor to Climate Change that are equal to more than 3/4th of global greenhouse gas emissions.
