UAE oil exec and leader of COP28 climate summit tells U.N., energy industry to 'get after gigatons' of emissions

The president-designate of this fall’s annual major global climate-change conference, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, himself an executive in an oil industry responsible historically for the bulk of Earth-warming emissions, told global leaders “we are not powerless” when it comes to holding greenhouse gases in check.

These nations weren’t allowed to speak this week because, U.N. organizers said, they had no new actions to announce. In the remarks Wednesday, he emphasized that “climate change is our common enemy, and we must unite to fight it.” COP28 is expected to convene over 70,000 participants, including heads of state, government officials, international industry leaders, private-sector representatives, academics, experts, youth and non-state actors.
