| description | In terms of sustainable energy, the Gulf has come a long way since 2008. Resource efficiency programmes, alternative energy projects, clean technology research, sustainable building codes, public transport systems, and green economy strategies are now part of everyday news in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Given their hydrocarbon resources, the Gulf states have a large stake in the ongoing global sustainable energy transition, in which they are currently playing a number of different roles: as ‘movers’, ‘clingers’, and ‘sufferers’. However, only the first of these roles constitutes a tangible option for sustainable development in the region. |
