CERAWEEK - UAE's Jaber urges Big Oil to tackle climate challenges

The UAE's designated president of the COP28 climate conference believes in an inclusive approach to addressing climate change, he said at the CERAWEEK energy conference in Houston on Monday, urging the oil and gas industry to get behind net-zero targets.

"I know that some of you might have felt excluded from the climate dialogue in the past, while others may have felt this isn't their problem to fix," Sultan al-Jaber, who also heads the United Arab Emirates' state oil giant ADNOC, told the conference.

"I also know that energy leaders in this room have the knowledge, experience, expertise and the resources needed to address the dual challenge of driving sustainable progress while holding back emissions."
