Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, CBE (Arabic: سلطان أحمد الجابر; born August 31, 1973) is an Emirati politician who is the minister of industry and advanced technology of the United Arab Emirates,[2] head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC),[3] and chairman of Masdar.
Al Jaber is the UAE's special envoy for climate change,[4] and the president of the COP28 climate talks. His appointment as head of the COP28 climate talks was strongly criticized by environmentalists due to his track record at ADNOC. As head of ADNOC, Al Jaber has overseen a substantial expansion of gas and oil production at the same time that fossil fuel industries are under pressure to reduce output in order to mitigate climate change.[5][6]
