The UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan presided over a historic annual meeting of the ADNOC Board of Directors, which emphasized the country's commitment to a sustainable and integrated energy future. Under the visionary leadership of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, ADNOC is forging a route for growth, decarbonization, and significant contributions to the UAE economy.

Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed directed ADNOC to diversify its portfolio by providing secure, dependable, and responsible energy to support a fair and equitable global energy transition. Through investments in Masdar, the company is increasing its renewable energy capacity, on track to meet its intermediate targets of 25% reduction in greenhouse gas intensity and near-zero methane emissions by 2030. 

The board recognized ADNOC's record-breaking IPOs and first overseas investments in 2023, underlining the need to focus transformational development, collaborations, and global prospects. Notably, ADNOC's acquisition of OCI's majority stake in Fertiglobe plc is consistent with its ambitious chemical strategy and commitment to low-carbon ammonia.

ADNOC's ambition to achieve net zero emissions by 2045 is reflected in increased budget allocations of $23 billion for decarbonization projects. This investment includes the expansion of domestic and worldwide carbon management tools to assist both ADNOC and its clients in their decarbonization efforts.

ADNOC's emphasis on personnel development and upskilling, connection with the 'Make it in the Emirates' campaign, and donations to local communities through its CSR program demonstrate the company's all-encompassing commitment to sustainable growth.

ADNOC reached key milestones in 2023, including record-breaking first public offerings, investments in carbon capture projects, and the unveiling of the world's first net-zero emissions offshore development project. The corporation has pledged to double its carbon capture.

This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties.

Did you know that Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and President of COP28 , stressed the essential need for immediate climate action before to the summit? The shrinking time period and the global community's progress since the Paris Agreement's adoption in 2015 emphasize the urgency.  Let us first discuss the cop conference  and what I believe Cop28 will do.  First Cop summit  emphasizes that major strides have been made since COP21, guiding the earth away from the initially forecast 3°C global warming and toward around 2.5°C.  Second, according to the International Energy Agency's most recent projections, global carbon emissions will peak in this decade, intensifying the need for comprehensive climate policies. I believe in cOP28  It is fitting, then, that this year’s climate summit should happen in a place famous for sitting at the intersection of finance and innovative th
