At the opening of London Climate Action Week (LCAW), H.E. Razan Al Mubarak, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion, highlighted the critical role of nature in achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. She described climate change and nature loss as one of the greatest challenges we face today, emphasising that nature conservation is essential for attaining net zero emissions and climate resilience. She stated, “Nature is not ornamental, but fundamental.” Al Mubarak called for enhanced regional collaboration and the inclusion of metrics within climate action to measure the involvement of women, SMEs, and the youth.

Strengthening the Link Between Policy and Nature Conservation

In her remarks, Al Mubarak discussed the “Race to Zero” initiative, viewing it as a guiding light for achieving the target of halving emissions by 2030. She highlighted that the initiative is not solely about reducing carbon emissions, but also about supporting an economic transition that is nature-positive. Al Mubarak stressed the key role that local and Indigenous communities play in conservation efforts and urged stronger collaboration to effectively tackle global climate challenges. “We need an ambition loop for policy that drives improvements in regulations and standards, so environmental goals can be realised across sectors,” she noted.

Addressing the importance of policy engagement, Al Mubarak acknowledged the challenges posed by global polarisation and complex geopolitics, which often hinder climate action progress. However, she expressed optimism about the “ambition in the real economy,” believing that real-world actions can drive the transition to a resilient, nature-positive future.

The Potential of Digital Technology and Policy Support

Al Mubarak emphasised the potential of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in accelerating climate action, particularly in helping countries adapt to climate change and optimise resource allocation. She noted, “Digitalisation can help us provide smarter early warning systems and reduce emissions during the transition to clean energy.” She also referenced Egypt’s “National Initiative for Smart Green Projects” (NISGP), which combines digital solutions with environmental objectives, serving as a model for smart, sustainable climate action.

Al Mubarak further pointed out that digital technology applications in areas such as enhancing agricultural productivity, conserving water, and monitoring deforestation represent feasible paths forward in addressing climate change. She stressed that these technologies can help safeguard critical ecosystems, such as mangroves and rainforests, by providing precise data to ensure impactful climate action. She encouraged both governments and private enterprises to support the adoption of digital technology as a foundation for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Driving Global Collaboration Towards a Sustainable Future

Looking ahead, Al Mubarak emphasised the need for collective action, with everyone working together to secure the wellbeing of nature and humanity. She noted that with policy support and collaboration between partners, the world will be better equipped to tackle climate challenges and create a more resilient system for the future. She concluded, “We must recognise the importance of nature, not just through words but through tangible actions.” Al Mubarak believes that only by strengthening policy frameworks and technological support can we drive sustainable green growth and create a healthy, harmonious environment for the next generation.
