They include a meeting with China where the UAE’s state oil company, Adnoc, is ‘willing to jointly evaluate international LNG opportunities’ in Mozambique, Canada and Australia. The documents also suggest telling a Colombian minister that Adnoc ‘stands ready’ to support Colombia to develop its fossil fuel resources. Other country’s keen on discussing fossil fuel project opportunities with Adnoc include Germany and Egypt.

Climate change is upon us and now is the time to react in a more diverse and broader approach to sustainability in the built environment. We challenge architects, property developers, urban planners, renewable energy professionals and green building specialists. We also challenge the funding houses and regulators and the role they play in facilitating investment into green projects. Lastly, we explore and investigate new technology and real-time data to speed up the journey in realising a net carbon zero environment for our children.
