Dr Ajay Mathur, Director-General of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), praised the UAE’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

He said that the UAE has been making significant investments in renewable energy for over 15 years, and these efforts have resulted in major achievements, such as the provision of solar energy at a low price of 1.35 cents per kilowatt/hour.

In statements to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in India, Mathur praised the UAE’s commitment to climate action, calling it a “tangible and proactive response” to the challenges of climate change.

He urged other countries to follow the UAE’s lead and take urgent action to reduce their emissions.

These efforts are in line with the country’s commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and its ambition to become a global leader in renewable energy, he said.

The UAE, the international official continued, has implemented several advanced initiatives and projects, such as the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and Abu Dhabi Vision 2030. These initiatives aim to increase the use of renewable energy sources, including solar power.
