Exploring MENA’s Sustainability Agenda

Join Helen Dodd, Head of Sustainability at Instinctif Partners, and Alaa Badawi, Associate Partner within the MENA Sustainability Practice, as they delve into the landscape of sustainability in the MENA region.

With the World Future Energy Summit this week and the COP28 climate summit in recent memory, Helen and Alaa navigate the factors driving the region's shift towards sustainability and ESG practices. From government policies promoting renewable energy to the private sector's increasing integration of ESG principles, they uncover the challenges and opportunities shaping the region's sustainable future.

 

Key Takeaways:

1. Government Action: Explore the expansion of renewable energy projects and ambitious net-zero pledges from GCC countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
2. Private Sector Engagement: Learn how companies are recognising the importance of ESG integration and reporting.
3. Challenges Ahead: Discover the obstacles such as regulatory frameworks, data accessibility, and financial constraints, and the collaborative efforts needed to overcome them.
4. Future Outlook: Gain insights into the optimism for a sustainable and resilient future through continued investment, innovation, and collaboration.
