Abu Dhabi embraces sustainability

Global energy executives and policymakers will gather in Abu Dhabi from Jan 14 to 17 to hold the World Future Energy Summit, under the theme "Embracing the Future, Welcoming Disruption", emphasizing its sustainability catalyzing role.

The summit will discuss the changing landscape of demand for oil and gas, future of hydrocarbon resources as well as the regional momentum toward renewables.

In the context of targets outlined by the United Nations COP 21 Paris Agreement and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, WFES complements these global efforts by helping to shape the sustainability agenda and empowering a private sector, bottom-up approach to accelerate commercially driven solutions that tackle interconnected resource and climate challenges.
