It will also grant them access to free tools and resources to integrate emissions reduction measures throughout their operations, report annually on their advancements, and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 or earlier.<\/p>\n<p>COP28\u2019s chief executive officer Mr. Adnan Amin said: \u201cSMEs comprise up to 90% of all businesses in the Middle East and North Africa, hence they form a major part of the region\u2019s economy and have an integral role to play in accelerating MENA\u2019s transition to net-zero. \u201cExpanding the SME Climate Hub\u2019s regionalisation in MENA will help us to deliver the most inclusive COP to date, support SMEs with their climate goals and ensure they are a vital part of our collective efforts to keep 1.5C within reach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the MENA region, SMEs, much like their counterparts worldwide, encounter obstacles despite the burgeoning startup landscape. These hurdles encompass issues like securing financial support, grappling with escalating operational expenses, addressing systemic disparities, adapting to the digital age, enhancing capacities and skills, and gaining entry to vital resources and networks. These challenges become more pronounced when the shift towards sustainability is taken into consideration. The Climate Hub aims to support businesses in the region to retain their competitive edge in a fast-changing economy.<\/p>\n<p>The program will be run in partnership with Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company \u2013 Masdar, with support from First Abu Dhabi Bank and the Abu Dhabi Chamber. Abu Dhabi Chamber\u2019s chief executive officer Mr. Al Qubaisi said: \u201cThis program represents a crucial step in efforts to enhance the success of SMEs while promoting sustainability and aligning with the UAE\u2019s ambitious Green Agenda 2030 and Net-Zero commitments.\u201d <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/cop28-presidency-launches-new-sme-climate-hub\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/cop28-presidency-launches-new-sme-climate-hub\/\">edie.net<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/cop28-presidency-launches-new-sme-climate-hub\/\">COP28 Presidency launches new SME climate hub<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[612,7812,555,3916,3903,1564],"class_list":["post-117474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate","tag-cop28","tag-csr-news-en","tag-hub","tag-presidency","tag-sme"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117474\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
