‘Absurd that we listen to those causing the climate crisis’ in Davos, says Greta Thunberg
Four years after taking the World Economic Forum by storm, Greta Thunberg
returned to Davos on Thursday to blast the United Arab Emirates for
appointing the head of its state-owned oil company to chair the Cop28
climate talks later this year. Thunberg said it was “completely
ridiculous” that Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber, chief executive of the Abu Dhabi
National Oil Company (ADNOC), will preside over the next round of global
climate talks in Dubai in November. She told an event on the sidelines of
the WEF’s annual meeting in Davos that lobbyists have been influencing
these conferences “since, basically, forever”. “This just puts a very
clear face to it,” she added. “It’s completely ridiculous.”
