ESG Investor
In the run up to COP28 , all eyes are on our region. Luma Saqqaf speaks to ESG investor about the complex picture across MENA, and how unique country dynamics, both in terms of climate risks and economic contexts, are impacting progress.
That diversity makes it difficult to generalise, but does mean that the region acts as a microcosm of the wider world, with inevitable disparities and differences in transition pathways – all of which present challenges for the COP negotiations and developing the necessary finance infrastructure.
Comment Central
There are different views on the success of last year’s COP27. But if you look at it through the lens of the developing countries across Africa and the Middle East, you will see it was successful.
