UAE Scenarios Sketch: Entering a world of competitive transitions
The UAE is a global energy hub and a critical part of the world’s energy system. Its forward-thinking approach seeks to position the UAE at the heart of the long-term future of energy, even in a decarbonised world.
UAE was the first nation in the region to commit to net-zero emissions by 2050, it is the location of the first nuclear energy plant in the Arab world and it will be home to COP28 at a critical moment for global progress on climate change, including the global stocktake. All of this is consistent with the leadership’s vision for a low-carbon high-growth economic model.
