Polish President Andrzej Duda lauded the United Arab Emirates for its impeccable hosting of the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
In an interview with the Emirates News Agency (WAM), President Duda remarked on the event’s professionalism and efficiency, noting the substantial global leadership turnout.
Highlighting COP28’s significance in tackling urgent global challenges, President Duda emphasized the critical discussions held on climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.
He expressed optimism for enhanced UAE-Polish relations, particularly in areas like climate action, economic collaboration, and trade.
Addressing climate change solutions, President Duda stressed the necessity of persistent climate protection efforts and modernizing the energy sector.
He discussed Poland’s unique climate conditions, which make wind and solar power unreliable, advocating for stable energy alternatives, including nuclear power, to meet Poland’s substantial energy demands and support its heavy industries.
Furthermore, he underscored the importance of renewable energy in Poland’s energy strategy and mentioned the country’s progress in building a nuclear power plant, a key topic discussed at COP28.
