It may be shocking to hear that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, which are known for their abundant oil and gas reserves and production, are now discussing the transition to clean energy.
While they have made some progress in reducing emissions and investing in renewable energy, it remains to be seen whether these efforts will be sufficient to meet their net-zero emissions targets. If they are successful in their transition to clean energy, they could become leaders in the industry and set an example for other countries to follow. The Gulf countries' approach to energy production could have significant implications for global energy markets and the fight against climate change.
