While delivering the country statement, Dr. Al Dahak underscored the UAE's key role within the COP Presidencies Troika, reiterating the nation's full support for Brazil's COP3O Presidency.

The minister stated: “We are working hand-in-hand with our partners to ensure that the ambitious pathway shaped in Dubai through the historic UAE Consensus, and strengthened further in Baku, now reaches Belém as a springboard for establishing long-term, sustainable principles for global climate action.”

Dr Al Dahak reaffirmed the UAE's steadfast commitment to achieving climate neutrality by 2050, adding: “The UAE continues to lead global efforts to triple renewable energy capacity and enhance full transparency in emissions reporting to help meet global climate goals. We firmly believe that protecting nature and biodiversity is inseparable from climate action. This is why our National Biodiversity Strategy 2031 sets out ambitious targets from protecting our terrestrial and marine areas to bolstering the population of endangered species.” She continued: “With half of our 100-million-mangrove target already achieved, and by spearheading international partnerships such as the MAC (Mangrove Alliance for Climate) with Indonesia, we affirm that nature protection is a fundamental pillar of our national and global policy, a principle underscored by our recent hosting of the IUCN World Conservation Congress.”
