“Let history reflect the fact that this is the Presidency that made a bold choice to proactively engage with oil and gas companies,” al-Jaber said.
COP28 comes as the planet faces a mounting imperative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
David Hone, Shell's chief climate adviser, is in Dubai for at least his 17th appearance at the annual climate talks.
