Leading the Change: Decarbonization for Future Generations (Session 2)

The decarbonization race is heating up in the region. Many countries within the GCC region announced commitments and pledges related to decarbonization (such as Net Zero pledges), and hence governments in the region are aiming to accelerate decarbonizations efforts under the pressure of fulfilling the requirements of these pledges and the rising concerns related to the catastrophic consequences of climate change. This is also placing a lot of pressure on corporates to react, except that efforts are often hindered with various roadblocks.
