UAE delegation participates in Ocean Conference in New York
A UAE delegation led by Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, minister of climate change and environment, is participating in the Ocean Conference currently underway in New York.
Al Zeyoudi has said that the marine environment has been a significant component of the UAE as it has played an integral role in the Emiratis' everyday lives and has been the primary source of food for a wide segment of the population.
He has added that the UAE is working on reducing the impact of climate change on oceans through a number of measures such as reducing the carbon emissions.
To achieve this, the UAE has an energy strategy that aims to increase the contribution of clean energy to the total mix to 50% by 2050.
