The United Arab Emirates climate envoy and designated president of the COP28 climate summit said on Wednesday his main priority would be to keep alive the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius as the world falls behind on the target.
Scheduled to take place in Dubai between Nov. 30 and Dec. 12, the conference will be the first global assessment of progress since the landmark Paris Agreement in 2015 to limit global warming.He said he would focus on building consensus and was ready to listen to all parties that wanted to engage positively."How about for once we capitalise on everybody's capabilities and strengths and fight climate change rather than going after each other," he said when asked about the criticism.
Jaber said a major "course correction" was needed to stick to the target. "We need to be honest with ourselves, we know the whole world is way off track." While voicing appreciation for climate activists' passion and the need for their voices to be heard, Jaber added: "You have to balance passion with being realistic, this is what we need to focus on".
"The private sector will be interested in exploring opportunities especially in the vulnerable communities if concessional instruments are out there supported by international financial institutions to help lower the risks," Jaber said.
