The United Arab Emirates is at the forefront of international efforts to drive the global green economy transformation, as evidenced by its leading role in discussions held in London. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Chairman of the World Green Economy Organisation (WGEO), asserted that transitioning to a climate-resilient future is not just an environmental goal but a fundamental economic shift.

Al Tayer emphasized the critical importance of minerals in powering the clean energy sector. He stated that these resources form the bedrock of green economy initiatives, underpinning technologies such as solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicle batteries, and essential grid infrastructure. This perspective underscores the interconnectedness of resource availability and the feasibility of a sustainable energy future.
