Sultan Al Jaber
Emirati politician and businessman (born 1973)
Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, CBE (Arabic: سلطان أحمد الجابر; born August 31, 1973) is an Emirati politician who is the minister of industry and advanced technology of the United Arab Emirates,[2] head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC),[3] and chairman of Masdar.
Al Jaber is the UAE's special envoy for climate change,[4] and the president of the COP28 climate talks. His appointment as head of the COP28 climate talks was strongly criticized by environmentalists due to his track record at ADNOC. As head of ADNOC, Al Jaber has overseen a substantial expansion of gas and oil production at the same time that fossil fuel industries are under pressure to reduce output in order to mitigate climate change.[5][6]
Early life and education
[edit]A native of the UAE, Al Jaber was born on 31 August 1973 in Umm Al Quwain, UAE.[7] He holds a BSc in Chemical Engineering from the University of Southern California, a PhD in business and economics from Coventry University, and an MBA from the California State University at Los Angeles.[8] His education in the United States was financed by a scholarship provided by ADNOC.[5]

Who is Sultan al Jaber, and why was an oil boss chosen to run a climate conference?
If you could pick one person to try to solve the worsening climate crisis, who would you pick?
That person has been tasked with leading the United Nations COP climate summit, in a year "near certain" to be the hottest ever on record, with time running out for the dramatic action UN scientists say is needed to stop climate change hitting us hard.
When the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced it had picked Sultan al Jaber to run this year's COP28 climate talks, jaws dropped.
Because he also happens to be the boss of one of the world's largest oil companies, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
But after he successfully brokered the first pledge by governments to "transition away" from fossil fuels in Dubai, was the decision to appoint him "completely ridiculous," in the words of Greta Thunberg, or, as others put it, a "unique" opportunity?

When the oil chief was announced as COP28 president in January, campaigners like 350.org likened it to "appointing the CEO of a cigarette company to oversee a conference on cancer cures".
