Next year, at COP 27, which will be held in Sharm El Sheik, Egypt, governments will need to demonstrate the actual implementation and delivery of their earlier commitments. Increased international advocacy is placing pressure on governmental institutions to translate their plans into action.<\/p><p>It is crucial for the government sector to build trust and establish concrete action in mitigating the risks of climate change. Increased investment in this area is fundamental to achieving public support. According to the EU Investment, buildings are considered the single largest consumers of energy. As such, investment in energy efficient solutions on a nation-wide scale could shift the course on achieving a country\u2019s National Determined Contributions in relation to CO2 emission reductions.<\/p><p>National institutions play a key role in setting in place required legislation and policy reform to hold others accountable for using eco-friendly and sustainable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2020\/01\/how-cross-sector-collaboration-is-driving-the-global-climate-agenda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">solutions<\/a>. The government also needs to set targets and frameworks for other players to follow specific guidance leading to a collective goal that is aligned to the National Determined Contributions. There is a need for governments to also ensure that they embed adaptation plans into their climate agenda as opposed to just mitigation. Through adaptation, the most vulnerable communities are better protected while also preventing catastrophes and increasing <a href=\"https:\/\/aida-americas.org\/en\/blog\/5-ways-our-governments-can-confront-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resilience<\/a>.<\/p><p>The UAE has set definitive action plans in its National Climate Change Plan of the UAE 2017-2050 roadmap, geared to streamline initiatives across the country.

climate change. Many companies have already set ambitious targets for transitioning towards Net-Zero. Disclosing their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions is considered one of the first steps in having such targets become a reality. Not only do companies need to focus on reducing and eliminating their own emissions, but there is a great opportunity for them to also provide technological solutions that can help others do so as well. Another aspect where the private sector can play a role is through public awareness and leveraging on campaigns and outreach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2020\/01\/how-cross-sector-collaboration-is-driving-the-global-climate-agenda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">programs<\/a>.<\/p><p>Mobilizing resources to predict and prevent future disasters is crucial in protecting communities. Efficient communication tools are essential in helping organizations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/climateandhealth\/docs\/CrossSectorClimateandHealth.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the recovery process. Cross-sectoral engagement is also important as well to ensuring transparency<\/a>.<\/p><p>UBS is an example of a private sector entity that places emphasis of spreading climate awareness to harness private capital to close the climate finance gap. Based on the company\u2019s newly published white paper on its Climate Aware framework, UBS identified multiple solutions focused on awareness and education. The following are examples:<\/p><ol><li>Expand its Climate Aware approach across asset classes within active and passive strategies through ESG reporting and climate risk metrics.<\/li><li>UBS plans to map climate data to approximately 10,000 issuers and enter partnerships with multilateral development banks to drive scalable climate change strategies and offer the use of green bonds.<\/li><\/ol><p>UBS #TOGETHERBAND initiatives that aim to publicize each Sustainable Development Goal through digital marketing and a colored wristband for each goal.<\/p><p>Vodafone is another example of a telecom entity leading in its Net-Zero commitment. The telco communicated its goal to reduce its own emission to Net-Zero by 2030 (Scope 1 and 2) and across its entire value chain by 2040 (Scope 3). Vodafone aims to achieve this is through the following:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a0002d0 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a0002d0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0ce2215\" data-id=\"0ce2215\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3ff7757\" data-id=\"3ff7757\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2e6a19\" data-id=\"f2e6a19\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8c96543\" data-id=\"8c96543\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4f644b3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4f644b3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bc3f385\" data-id=\"bc3f385\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c712dee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c712dee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This holistic approach will allow Vodafone to achieve its commitment approved by the SBTi in line with the 1.5\u00b0C range of global temperature increase. The first step entails eliminating all carbon emission from its own operations based on the energy it purchases. Vodafone will have to eliminate its Scope 3 emissions, which include joint ventures, supply chain purchases, the use of products, and business travel. For the mobile industry, Scope 3 is considered the largest and most complex area to address as it includes greenhouse gas emissions that are not controlled by the company. However, an assessment and analysis of the baseline and understanding where the largest contributor exists provides the requisite guidance to achieve this target.<\/p><p>Vodafone worked with Carbon Trust, an expert partner for businesses and governments to help them decarbonize and accelerate to Net-Zero, so as to prioritize reduction opportunities. Through this assessment and further understanding, Vodafone was able to identify the largest area of emission sources which are joint ventures and purchased goods. As such, the company devised a plan to embed its commitments across its supply chain, providing 20% weighting for environmental and social criteria in its supplier evaluation. It also collaborated closely with its joint venture partners, which include Safaricom and TPG Telecom. Safaricom has committed to becoming a zero carbon-emitting company by 2050 and TPG Telecom committed to purchasing 100% renewable electricity by 2025.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ee17eab elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"ee17eab\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;video&quot;,&quot;background_video_link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/zain.com\\\/TLR2022\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/05\\\/bulb.mp4&quot;,&quot;background_play_on_mobile&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-video-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-background-video-hosted elementor-html5-video\" autoplay muted playsinline loop><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6be445a\" data-id=\"6be445a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8123c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e8123c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Role of non-governmental organizations (NGO) and multilateral institutions <\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e8abca6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e8abca6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fbc5660\" data-id=\"fbc5660\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e448476 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e448476\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Such institutions play a central role in addressing climate change as they identify the challenges and raise urgent matters to other sectors.
