DECARBONIZATION DAY

For the first time ever, those who participated in COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh had the opportunity to take part in Decarbonization Day, a day that not only seeks to highlight the importance of decarbonization as a cause but serves as a clear demonstration of Egypt’s firm commitment to achieving the objectives of The Paris Agreement while pushing for a just energy transition.

Yet, commitments cannot survive without having a conversation, dialogue, or an exchange of ideas. Decarbonization Day offered an open platform for officials around the world to discuss plans for a better net-zero future, witnessing the attendance of ministers, corporate leaders, bankers, and other notables who will finetune the policies of today so that the global community can live a better tomorrow.

Among many top officials who were there, Decarbonization Day witnessed the participation of Tarek El Molla, Egyptian Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources; Osama Mobarez, Secretary General of the East Mediterranean Gas Forum (EMGF); John Kerry, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate; Ahmed Samir, Minister of Trade and Industry.
