 COP28 UAE Unveils Global Commitment

 


In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, a major oil-producing country, the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations on Climate Change (COP28) has officially begun. World leaders come together for this important meeting, which runs from November 30 to December 12, to discuss the urgent problem of climate change. Follow us with live coverage of COP28 as world leaders negotiate conversations about sustainability and climate action.

With its declaration of its COP28 North Star—holding countries and stakeholders accountable for sustaining the goal temperature of 1.5ºC—the United Arab Emirates takes center stage as the meeting progresses. To begin this quest, the world community gathers at Expo City Dubai. About 180 heads of state, 97,000 delegates, specialists, observers, and climate activists take part in the gathering. The ceremonial opening of the climate talks by Sultan Al Jaber sets the stage for talks about renewable energy, fossil fuels, and net-zero targets.

The importance of COP28 is emphasized by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who says that the 1.5ºC climate goal is still attainable. US climate envoy John Kerry expressed optimism for significant progress in addressing climate change as the conference picks up steam. Kerry is in line with the global movement for carbon-free energy options in his focus on developing nuclear fusion power. Vice-President Kamala Harris interrupts the talks to declare her attendance and underline the US commitment to taking global climate action. Remarkably, voices of support for Palestine resound throughout COP28, highlighting the connection between climate justice and human rights, as emphasized by COP28 Coalition coordinator Lidy Nacpil and activist Dylan Hamilton.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians.

But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period.

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
