Last week, the UAE announced the agenda for
the conference, which is slated for next November, focusing on linking health
and relief efforts with recovery and peace; finance, trade,
gender equality with accountability; and energy and industry with a just transition.
In a statement to the Jordan News Agency
(Petra) on Monday, the minister said that the letter called on member states to
fast track the energy transition, reduce emissions before 2030, fulfill old
pledges, set a framework for a new financing deal, and make nature, people, and
livelihoods the main focus of
climate action and mobilization efforts.
A clear vision
He stressed the comprehensive and clear
vision of the topics of the summit and the role of the UAE in shaping the
outcomes of the upcoming session. Highlighting the need to realize the vision
of the letter and provide
international financing that enables developing
countries to achieve their climate commitments.
He said that the contents of the letter
correspond to Jordan's aspirations for the outcomes of the climate summit,
describing it as a simple, flexible, and applicable coordinated action plan.
The letter's inclusion of the pivotal role
of women, youth, and
indigenous peoples falls in line with the directions of
climate action related to these groups, adding that the importance of the
letter lies in encouraging countries to submit updated nationally determined
contributions that support global trends that are more compatible with the
current situation, Radaideh said.
