Sultan Al Jaber attends New York energy forum

Dubai - The New York meeting was the third to be held this year.

A delegation from the UAE has attended a energy forum in New York held on the side-lines of the 70th United Nations General Assembly.
Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State and Special Envoy for Energy and Climate Change, led the UAE delegation at the The Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate (MEF), which aimed at mobilising action in the wake of the COP 21 climate agreement, to be formalised in Paris in December.
Al Jaber said: "The UAE's participation, alongside 17 of the world's leading economies, is a testament to the country's commitment to sustainable development, and its leadership in the deployment of the clean energy technologies necessary to mitigate climate change."
The New York meeting was the third to be held this year. Previous meetings have taken place in Washington D.C. and Luxembourg. A fourth meeting is scheduled to take place in November.
