The United Arab Emirates announced on Tuesday $4.5 billion in clean energy investments in Africa during a landmark climate summit hosted by Kenya and aimed at attracting funding for efforts to combat global warming.
"We will deploy $4.5 billion... to jumpstart a pipeline of bankable clean energy projects in this very important continent," said Sultan Al Jaber, who heads the government-owned renewable energy firm Masdar, the UAE's national oil company ADNOC and the COP28 climate talks to be held in Dubai later this year.
