In climate news, the United Arab Emirates has named the CEO of one of the world’s biggest oil companies to preside over the COP28 United Nations climate summit when it convenes in Dubai later this year. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber heads the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. Responding to his appointment, the anti-poverty charity ActionAid said, “This appointment goes beyond putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. The UN Climate Summit is supposed to be a space where the world holds polluters to account, but increasingly it’s being hijacked by those with opposing interests.”
