ABU DHABI - Japan and the United Arab Emirates agreed to cooperate on technology and climate change duringhis second stop in the region focused on securing energy supplies and promoting green technology.
The two leaders also adopted a joint statement on climate action, which said that both remain committed to the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and acknowledged “the role of clean hydrogen and derivatives including ammonia in accelerating the energy transition”. Japan is actively developing greener and renewable energy technologies and aims to be carbon neutral by 2050.
