Award recognizes role delivering at
COP28 the UAE Consensus
for a Global Agreement on a Sustainable Energy Future
HOUSTON, March 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, the President of COP28, UAE Special Envoy for Climate Change and
Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Managing Director
and Group CEO of ADNOC is the recipient of the CERAWeek Leadership
Award, presented in Houston at the
world's preeminent energy conference, CERAWeek by S&P
Global.
Dr. Al Jaber, appearing
virtually, received the award from Daniel
Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global and CERAWeek
conference chair, recognizing his leadership at COP28 to deliver the UAE Consensus for a global
agreement on a sustainable energy future.
"We are pleased to honor Dr. Sultan Al
Jaber with the CERAWeek Leadership Award," Yergin said. "As
COP28 President, he demonstrated
tremendous leadership in building the UAE Consensus from 198
Parties to raise ambition to achieve the goals of the Paris
Agreement and limit global warming to 1.5°C and to translate those
goals into practical action. It is no exaggeration to say that he
helped the global community chart pathways to a sustainable
future.
"The UAE Consensus that emerged from Dubai outlined pathways never so
concrete for governments and industries to work together to achieve
what is nothing short of an historic transformation of the world's
energy systems. We take special satisfaction knowing that a year
ago at CERAWeek, you launched a call to the energy industry, indeed
to all industries, to tap their unmatched skills in innovation,
technology, engineering, and in executing at scale."
"I am deeply honored to accept the CERAWeek Leadership Award for
the UAE Consensus," Dr. Al Jaber
said upon receiving the award. "In a world too often held back by
conflict, the UAE Consensus brought nations together to take a
giant step forward for climate progress. Countries set aside
self-interest for the common goal of keep 1.5°C within reach, and
multilateralism overcame geopolitics to produce an unprecedented
agreement to produce a fair, orderly and responsible energy
transition. In short, COP28 was a
success because of its full inclusivity. Everyone had a seat at the
table, everyone was invited to contribute, and everyone did
contribute."
Speaking to industry leaders gathered at CERAWeek, Dr.
Al Jaber underscored that "the task
at hand is massive, but so is the opportunity. And the people in
this room have the engineering know-how, the capability, the
talent, the technology, and the resources to help address this
challenge and create a pathway for decarbonized growth. The UAE
Consensus provides the roadmap."
CERAWeek 2024: Multidimensional Energy Transition: Markets,
climate, technology and geopolitics is convening the world's
energy industry leaders, experts, government officials and
policymakers, as well as leaders from the technology, financial and
