The International Sustainability Resources & Technology Conference

OMAN SUSTAINABILITY WEEK

From ambition to action: leadership, commitment and collaboration April 29th and 30th, 2024 - Muscat, Oman

The Middle East is more sensitive to catastrophic weather events than other regions, owing to rising temperatures, extended droughts and greater water scarcity, resulting in expanding social

inequities. Policymakers must develop clear climate regulations, enable access to technology and infrastructure, extend access to sustainable financing, and facilitate access to education to develop skills for delivering on climate action. Also important are corporate activities, driven by science, decarbonised operations and investment in the energy transition. Yet only 12% of the region’s top 200 corporations have net-zero targets, and only 6% have a plan in place to reach them, according to a World Economic Forum report

As a major supplier of energy, the Middle East has the potential to lead the way in implementing renewable solutions, particularly given its solar and wind resources. Because of the considerable contrasts among the GCC countries, regional collaboration is required to speed up decarbonisation and the energy transition. Capturing these opportunities requires redirecting investment and developing technology. How do businesses and governments turn sustainability risks into opportunities?

Join us for The International Sustainability Resources & Technology Conference, organised by Oman Environmental Services Holding Comp (be’ah) and programmed by Economist Impact. The event will connect local and global stakeholders across academia, industry and public sector to foster dialogue and constructive debate, promote the cross-sharing of technical expertise and prepare businesses to meet climate goals. Following COP28, the event will examine how the region can build an equitable and resilient net-zero future and capitalise on new opportunities of economic diversification, better job creation and leadership in sustainable technologies.

Panel discussion

Delivering on the energy transition—a key competitive advantage?

Although countries in the MENA region have declared net-zero ambitions to counter escalating temperatures, the surge in global energy demand presents a complex “decoupling challenge”. This lies at the core of the worldwide energy transition and the race to tap renewables, such as hydrogen and synthetic fuels like SAF, as well as carbon capture technologies.

Although the Middle East area has a potential for renewable energy production of 45% globally, it only accounts for 1% of total use. Why? This session will explore the main considerations for the region: establishing priorities, identifying economic opportunities for traditional industries and addressing the challenge of scaling renewables.

Speakers:

Abdulaziz Al Shidhani, managing director, Hydrom

Andrei Covatariu, independent energy expert and co-chair of the “Digitalization in Energy” Task Force, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)

Central banks in action: preparing for the energy transition

Climate change has major implications that imperil the stability of the financial system. Dealing with physical, transition and legal risks, it is crucial for financial regulators, policymakers and institutions to enhance their risk management practices, as well as facilitate green financing. For the GCC economies, the energy transition will necessitate fundamental changes in the structure of the economy, with ramifications for the operations, investments and business strategies of banks and financial firms.

• How are central banks supporting the transition?

• How are banks aligning their lending and investment strategies to incentivise clients towards net zero?

• What specialised financial products are being designed to finance net-zero initiatives?

• How can regulatory barriers be removed to foster innovation?

Moderator:

Phillip Cornell, principal, Economist Impact

Panel discussion

Carbon markets: delivering on promises or falling short?

Recent developments have reshaped the landscape of voluntary carbon markets. For the first time in seven years, these markets have experienced contraction. As net-zero goals gain momentum, the role of carbon markets in the energy transition has become pivotal. Despite years of international negotiations and significant investments, the landscape is in flux—calling for the need to reevaluate and reshape carbon markets to better support the transition to a low-carbon economy.

This discussion will unravel the complexities, address the criticisms and explore the potential of carbon-credit trading as a catalyst for sustainable climate action. This robust conversation among diverse stakeholders will explore actionable steps to enhance the

effectiveness, transparency and integrity of carbon markets to enable a sustainable and equitable net-zero future.
