An expert view from RSA

The risk and opportunities of a changing climate are of critical importance to our business and we have to respond to changing environmental conditions.

By 2030 the world’s energy demands are expected to increase by 50%.Renewable Energy is therefore set to play an increasing role in meeting these needs.

The MENA region in general gained speed in renewable over the past 12 to 18 months with the Middle East tripled renewable energy investment last year despite fewer energy dollars being spent globally. This region is considered as a hot spot for green investment.

Like many businesses, we believe renewable energy has an important role to play in decarbonizing the energy market and achieving internationally-agreed targets.
