“At some point in each of our lives, we all made a choice, a choice to help carry the burden of a great responsibility, to raise our hands and bear some portion of the weight on our shoulder,” Dr. Sultan opens the speech with.

A New Road

Dr. Al Jaber stressed the importance of fostering international collaboration to accelerate the transition to renewable energy. He called for a united front, transcending geopolitical boundaries, emphasizing the demand for a global response in a global crisis and urged nations to put aside past differences to work towards common goals.

Dr. Al Jaber’s speech focused on the transformative power of renewable energy in mitigating climate change, highlighting the advancements in renewable technologies and growing cost competitive solar, wind, and other sustainable sources. To embrace these technologies is not only an environmental imperative but also an economic opportunity for nations looking to lead the emerging green economy.

“The new road starts with a decision on the Global Stocktake, a decision that is ambitious, corrects course, and accelerates action to 2030,” said Dr. Sultan.

Acknowledging the challenges associated with transitioning to renewable energy, Dr. Al Jaber discussed the importance of creating a conducive regulatory environment, providing incentives for businesses and individuals to adopt clean energy, and addressing concerns related to job displacement in traditional energy sectors.

“We collectively have the power to do something unprecedented. In fact, we have no choice but to go the very unconventional way,” Dr. Sultan expresses.
