Recently, UAE's climate envoy and designated president of the UN COP28 (Conference of the Parties 28) summit, Sultan al-Jaber, said that the UAE was ready to explore all partnership opportunities with India. He said that the UAE would work with India to help in its low-carbon plans of adding 500 gigawatts of clean energy in the coming years. 

The UAE has also planned to catalyze billions of investments in clean energy projects. The UAE has already invested billions of dollars in renewable projects in more than 70 developed and developing countries. The UAE also launched a decarbonization drive to mitigate the impact of climate change. 

The COP28 will take place at the Expo City, Dubai, from November 30 to December 12, 2023.
