Working Together
Transitioning to a green economy makes environmental and economic sense, as it helps strike the necessary balance between economic growth and preserving the country’s environment and natural resources. The shift is projected to boost the UAE’s GDP by 4-5.5 percent and create 160,000 new jobs by 2030
Corporations are one of the significant contributors to GHG emissions globally, and must take immediate action to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change. I urge large corporations, public and private entities to start today by joining our Community of Practice and utilising the tools made available on our online platform, and to participate in driving the transformation of business operations towards a prosperous, green economy.
HSBC has laid out an ambitious plan to prioritise up to US$1 trillion in financing and investment by 2030 that supports the transition to a net zero global economy. Our partnership with the Target Climate Initiative is another important part of our commitment to supporting customers and communities as we collectively work towards building a thriving low-carbon economy and a resilient future for society.
