As world leaders met at the United Nations in New York some weeks ago, we've been asked to share the film. The film shall serve as a big reminder of what we need to do to achieve the #GlobalGoals . The 17 Global Goals are the #WorldsToDoList. About the Global Goals In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals (officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). These goals have the power to create a better world by 2030, by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change. Guided by the Goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone. This To Do List for the World needs to go somewhere everyone can see it – on the world itself. Share the film and find out how to get involved by clicking here: https://worldstodolist.org/.

The UAE and the US signed a strategic partnership to invest $100 billion to produce 100 gigawatts of clean energy globally by 2035. Sheikh Mohamed and Mr McGurk witness the signing of an MOU for the launch of the Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy, by Dr Al Jaber and Mr Hochstein. The agreement was signed at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) in the presence of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed, state news agency Wam reported on Tuesday. Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, and Special Envoy for Climate Change, and Special Presidential Co-ordinator Amos Hochstein signed the partnership on behalf of the UAE and the US, respectively. “The energy transition needs a realistic, practical and economically viable plan to deliver climate progress, together with energy security and inclusive economic growth,” Dr Al Jaber said. “The UAE-US Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy [Pace] will enable climate action while enhancing global energy security and affordability for the people of the UAE, the US and nations around the world.” Building on our close strategic ties with the United States, I was delighted to witness the launch of the Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy which aims to ensure energy security, support climate action, and drive sustainable development for our two nations and the world. pic.twitter.com/Fx1wnL5HYe — محمد بن زايد (@MohamedBinZayed) November 1, 2022 At the event in Abu Dhabi, the UAE and the US reaffirmed their shared commitment to enhancing their climate ambitions and action, in line with their goals of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. President Sheikh Mohamed meets Brett McGurk, deputy assistant to the US President, second left, during Adipec in Abu Dhabi. Also present were Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed, Member of Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Executive Office, right, and Amos Hochstein, US special presidential co-ordinator, left. Both countries also recognised that a rapid, sustainable and well-managed energy transition is critical to successful climate action, as well as to enhancing global energy security and affordability, Wam reported. “Our new Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy will catalyse $100bn in clean energy financing in both countries, as well as robust commercial investment and other support for the emerging economies whose clean development is both underfunded and essential to the global climate effort,” the White House said separately. The two nations will also invest in the management of harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane, the development of advanced nuclear technology and the decarbonisation of the industrial and transport sectors. US President Joe Biden thanked Sheikh Mohamed for his leadership in “advancing the initiative and for hosting Cop28 next year”. “This is just the latest demonstration of the deep strategic relationship our countries share and of the broader US commitment to promoting economic prosperity, security and stability in the Middle East region,” the White House statement said. As part of the partnership, the US and the UAE will set up an expert group to identify priority projects, remove potential hurdles and measure Pace’s progress in achieving its targets. They will also seek to “bridge the gap between developed and developing countries in the investment in and deployment of clean energy to ensure global efforts to reduce emissions do not falter”, the White House said. The two countries will work together to prioritise commercial projects in developing and poor countries, as well as support them with technical and financial assistance. They will also focus on tapping into available resources and public and private sector expertise to expedite investment and introduce the latest technology as they push to reduce costs in clean energy projects in developing countries The US and the UAE will also work to channel investment into the mining, production and processing of critical minerals and materials that are vital for clean energy production. “The US-UAE close and strategic alliance will now join forces to accelerate the global energy transition to a cleaner and more sustainable future,” said Mr Hochstein. “Pace is testament to the deep commitment our countries share to urgently address the climate crisis — as quickly as possible. “Together, we will spur large-scale investment in new energy technologies in our own countries, around the world and in emerging economies. Pace will help deliver a safe and reliable global energy system that can cleanly power the world for generations to come.” Technology to lower fossil fuel emissions will also be a priority, according to the White House. The two countries will focus on developing new technology for carbon capture, use and storage, in addition to measuring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the hydrocarbon value chain. Pace also seeks to make methane abatement a global “fast mitigation strategy” this decade. The move also supports full-scale civil nuclear co-operation between the US and the UAE as atomic energy can drive decarbonisation in the power sector and other hard-to-abate segments such as heavy industry and heavy-duty transport. It can also be used to produce hydrogen, industrially process heat and desalinate water, among other things. The UAE is investing Dh600 billion ($163.5bn) in clean and renewable energy projects over the next three decades as it aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. All photos: UAE Presidential Court.

The President of the Republic of Liberia Mr. George Weah and Patrick Meyer, President of the UNASDG IGO have signed a bilateral cooperation agreement. Liberia is a founding member of the UNASDG IGO and will henceforth be supported by UNASDG in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. President of the Republic of Liberia, Mr. George Weah, source: lareleve.ma Currently, the Convention is being ratified by the Parliament. Liberia has stabilized since the devastating civil war ended in 2003. Government institutions have been built, and increasing exports and foreign investment have led to an economic recovery, with economic growth of nearly nine percent in 2013. In 2014 and 2015, however, the West African country was hit by a drop in world commodity prices and an Ebola epidemic. Presidential elections between late 2017 and early 2018 led to a peaceful transition of power. Although the country has achieved political stability, living conditions remain difficult for the majority of the population, especially in rural areas. Lack of access to health services and education, as well as a lack of jobs for youth, threaten the country's development. Over two-thirds of Liberians live below the poverty line and over one-third are considered malnourished. In 2017, Liberia ranked 181st out of 187 countries in the Human Development Index (HDI). Its main export products are rubber, as well as gold, iron ore, and diamonds. Despite the rich mineral deposits, the population hardly benefits from the revenues. The extractive industry has so far made only a limited contribution to prosperity and sustainable development. GIZ is active in Liberia on behalf of the German Federal Government as well as the European Union (EU) and other international donors. The work of the federal enterprise focuses on the following areas: Sustainable infrastructure Environment and climate Social development State and democracy Protection of natural resources Infrastructure: With a total area roughly one-third the size of Germany, only about 600 kilometers of Liberia's roads are paved and large parts of the country are inaccessible during the long rainy season. To improve the infrastructure, a road maintenance fund was introduced with the support of GIZ. In the Ministry of Construction, planning competencies as well as the prioritization of road maintenance were also advanced. Energy: In addition, the expansion of the renewable energy and energy efficiency sector is being supported. Liberia has enormous potential to meet all its energy needs from solar, river and biomass sources. Regional projects in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea - as a result of project activities - have provided access to modern energy services and technologies to approximately 135,000 people, 1,000 institutions and 2,200 businesses by the end of 2018. Health: Since the end of the Ebola epidemic, another project has been supporting the health system to improve both basic medical care and preparedness for highly infectious diseases. Key areas of support include laboratory diagnostics, disease reporting and care for patients with highly infectious diseases. At the same time, women should have better opportunities for jobs in the healthcare sector. Resource governance: In a multi-stakeholder approach, GIZ advises on improving the framework conditions for efficient and sustainable resource extraction. A particular focus is on strengthening government regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Mines and the Tax Authority and the Environmental Protection Agency to enforce fiscal and social, as well as environmental, requirements in the mining sector. Negative environmental impacts caused by industrial and small-scale mining are also to be reduced in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency. Another focus is on supporting civil society in actively demanding accountability from companies and the state. The advisory services are based on the Africa Mining Vision, the raw materials strategy of the African Union. Environment and biodiversity: The project promotes the cross-border networking of ecosystems and protected areas between Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire. In Côte d'Ivoire, it supports communication on ecological connectivity; in Liberia, it supports the Forest Development Authority (FDA) in developing the management plan for the Grebo-Krahn National Park, established in late 2017. In both countries, it promotes cross-border cooperation, skills and capacity, as well as the exchange of experiences between local and national stakeholders and the participation of women in decision-making processes. source: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
