“The world is watching – and the planet can’t wait.” UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres, September 2023
Climate change is a global emergency that goes beyond national borders. Let’s face up to this truth, together. We need credible actions, policies and plans – and not just pledges – we need solutions that are affordable, impactful and fair.
And here’s another truth – COP 28 in Dubai is going to be packed with meetings, events and other dialogue. We all want meaningful and purposeful engagement. So reach out and let’s find a productive time to meet. Key leaders from Black & Veatch will be at COP 28 to engage with clients, partner and stakeholders.
Connect with Mohamed (Samady) Abdelsamad, Sales Director, to arrange and discuss a time for a productive conversation in Dubai.
