As the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrives in Abu Dhabi amid the Ukraine war and energy crisis, we ask the question: is this the right time to quit the addiction to fossil fuels altogether, and the best opportunity to do something truly positive for the climate crisis?

After more than two weeks of negotiations, nearly 200 nations have agreed to adopt The Glasgow Climate Pact, which aims to keep alive hopes of averting the worst impacts of global warming, by reducing global dependence on coal and speeding up the end of fossil fuel subsidies.

With the COP26 Climate Change Conference under way, and the recent net zero pledges made in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, we are watching with great interest as the Middle-East is starting to demonstrate much greater leadership to tackle the climate crisis.
