On his opening trip to Asia as the Biden administration's special presidential envoy for climate, John Kerry’s first stop was Abu Dhabi, where he attended the
Regional Climate Dialogue in April. It was not your usual diplomatic visit. Rather than being confined to reception rooms, Mr Kerry was given a helicopter tour of the emirate's Noor facility, the largest single-site solar plant in the world, as well as trips to the first university dedicated to AI, MBZUAI, with curriculums
focusing on sustainability, and even a mangrove park. This packed and varied itinerary made one thing clear: solving the climate crisis will require every technology and discipline that countries can harness.
