Greenbackers Climate Tech Tour, Dubai - Achieving Net Zero

Greenbackers Climate Tech Tour: Destination Dubai - Achieving Net Zero in a carbon dominated economy at the UK Pavilion - 23 March 2022

Funds, officials and VIPs are welcome to join Greenbackers and The Scottish Government this very special event, hosted live and in-person at the Inspiration Gallery, UK Pavilion at Expo 2020.

This programme will be held in-person, live-streamed and recorded.

Post-COP26, there is renewed focus on the Middle East to show leadership on tackling issues of climate change with the official announcement from the United Nations that the UAE will host the COP28 international climate conference in 2023.

While most states in the Mid-East have committed to ambitious climate targets, it will be important for these pledges to be put into action over the next few years with clear objectives, strategic planning, and targeted investments.

Although there is momentum as the Gulf States transition from their historical reliance on hydrocarbons to becoming more balanced and sustainable economies, their successful move to a Net Zero future will be judged on realistic outcomes. This program will be showcasing cutting-edge technology solutions and discussing the region's potential to adopt and implement them.
