The article discusses the unique advantages the Middle East holds in leading global sustainability efforts, highlighting countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE as having the potential to become major producers of green energy due to their abundant renewable resources. It points out that the region can leverage its competitive advantage in renewables to become a hub for various forms of green energy, including hydrogen production and precision fermentation for protein-based foods. However, despite the significant advantages, green foreign direct investment is currently not flowing into the region, with most investments directed towards Europe. To become a green powerhouse, the Middle East needs to focus on achieving energy security, ensuring green affordability, and mobilizing green investments. The article emphasizes the importance of aligning incentives and evolving economic linkages to transition to a green economy. It also stresses the need for 'green diplomacy' through partnerships to make transition investments successful and to scale up green technologies like hydrogen. Ultimately, a vision for a 'Green Charter' is proposed, aiming to create a comprehensive and inclusive framework that binds nations together in pursuit of a sustainable and prosperous future.
