"The COP28 will coincide with a unique juncture when sustainability and climate actions will need a strong business case. Global efforts will not only need to be accelerated but also aligned in the right direction, characterized by consensus and without conflict of interests. In a way, COP28 is essentially a precursor to a potential “green industrial revolution”. So, what stakeholders bring to the COP28 table will be consequential. And I’m glad that a nation that epitomizes multiculturalism and progressive values and champions sustainability is facilitating this table."
