Description
The United Arab Emirates, which is set to host the United Nations
climate talks at the end of this month, is pushing secretive state-run
oil companies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, according to
documents obtained by POLITICO. But environmentalists aren’t convinced
the plan goes far enough, and they don’t trust the UAE to put together a
green plan. POLITICO’s Zack Colman breaks down why the UAE is pushing
its peers for climate pledges ahead of COP 28. Plus, the European Union
will make a “substantial” financial pledge toward a loss and damage
fund, raising the pressure on other developed countries to follow suit.
