Oil has been a tremendous resource for some countries in the Middle East and North Africa and a burden to others. It has allowed producer states to leapfrog into the modern world and build strong economies while others fell into a consumption addiction for the sake of energy security.
While it has fueled progress and development, production and consumption of oil is now threatening our climate and our region’s stability.
Together we go beyond oil, and create renewable powered energy systems for a peaceful and prosperous future for all.
The meeting ‘Toward a Just Energy Future’ put forth a Regional Roadmap for a Just Energy Transition, and launched the Polluters Pay Pact.
