LONDON, UK – Executive Director of the UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA) Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan highlighted the rapid escalation of the climate crisis in recent years, and UAE’s efforts to mitigate the effects through its Net Zero strategy.

Sheikha Shamma made the comments at the keynote address at the inaugural London Climate Technology Show.

She called for greater innovation and collaboration between nations and within the ClimateTech industry, to identify and execute solutions that would drive positive impact.

Sheikha Shamma said, “It’s imperative that a region’s Net Zero commitments be motivational and proactive. There are transformations taking place in major industries, such as construction, agriculture, tourism and even oil and gas to support this. Innovation is the driver that will be the key to achieving these goals.”

She said, “As the UAE gears up to host COP28 next year, collaboration across governments and the integration of technology will be fundamental to securing the future of our planet. Now is the time to seize the opportunities the region has to offer.”

The London Climate Show serves as an exclusive stage for the entire sustainability value chain to deliberate and partner on ways to mitigate the climate crisis through sustainable business solutions, disruptive technology and advanced knowledge.

The participants include governments, global and regional companies, investors, academia and entrepreneurs.

Sheikha Shamma on Friday spoke alongside Sir James Bevan, CEO of the United Kingdom (UK) Environment Agency, and Dr. Yousef Alshammari, CEO and Head of Oil Research at CMarkits, the UK-based global energy markets consultancy.
