"The state oil company of the United Arab Emirates, whose CEO will preside over
imminent UN climate negotiations, has the largest net-zero-busting expansion
plans of any company in the world, according to new data.
Sultan Al Jaber is the chief executive of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company
(Adnoc) and president of the Cop28 summit, which begins on 30 November. The
researchers behind the new data said Adnoc’s huge planned expansion of oil and
gas production was a clear conflict of interest and they said his position was
“ridiculous”.
At Cop28, nations will attempt to agree to cut fossil fuel use and triple
renewable energy. The summit comes at the end of a year in which global
temperatures have soared, intense impacts of extreme weather have wrecked lives
and there have been repeated warnings that the world already has plans to
exploit far more fossil fuel reserves than can safely be burned."
