The second Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM2), forum promoting policies and programs to advance clean energy, will be held in Abu Dhabi from April 6 to 7.

In co-operation with the US, the UAE will lead the dialogue amongst 21 governments — including ministers, business leaders and nongovernmental organizations – to discuss initiatives that can be adopted to promote clean energy.

“We are honored the UAE is acting as a global meeting ground to develop and help shape the policies and programs that will facilitate a future based on clean energy solutions,” said Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, UAE special envoy, energy and climate change, and chief executive, Masdar.

“It is a testament to the UAE’s ongoing commitment to developing and deploying renewable energy,” he added.

“We look to further build upon our leadership in innovating and employing clean energy technologies, for the benefit of our nation and the entire world.”
