President Sheikh Mohamed has stressed the need for action on climate change at the upcoming Cop28 summit, with a strong focus on the need to protect the planet and future generations.
The head of state met with the team tasked with the delivery of the climate summit on Tuesday.
He spoke of the need to enhance international solidarity and co-operation to find practical solutions to climate challenges.
The meeting was attended by members of the National Higher Committee overseeing preparations to host Cop28 in the UAE, beginning on November 30.
The Cop28 team briefed Sheikh Mohamed about the conference preparations and the four pillars of the summit's agenda.
"These are fast-tracking a just and orderly energy transition, fixing climate finance and putting nature, lives, and livelihoods at the centre of climate action, as well as enhancing inclusivity in national climate action," state news agency Wam said.
