Next week will see a high-level summit in Abu Dhabi to advance global action against climate change. Attending the GCC and Mena Regional Dialogue for Climate Action, and visiting the region for the first time since his appointment, will be John Kerry, the US special envoy on climate.
The Regional Dialogue will provide an important preview of the conversations that will take place later this month at another climate summit, to be held in Washington. That meeting will see 40 leaders, including those of the Emirates and Saudi Arabia, convene to rethink the global approach to what is one of the most significant challenges of our lifetimes – an unsustainable rise in the planet s temperature that threatens the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. The invitation to the UAE and Saudi Arabia marks the first time that Arab countries have been given such a prominent seat at the global climate table.
