COP28 President calls on all Parties to deliver “transformational” climate action plans that keep 1.5°C within reach and drive sustainable socioeconomic growth
NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Highlighting that Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) should be seen as an opportunity to deliver socioeconomic growth, COP28 President Dr. Sultan Al Jaber today called on Parties to issue a third round of NDCs that “meet the urgency of the moment” and represent a “comprehensive response plan” to the UAE Consensus.
Parties should view their NDCs “not as a burden but as platforms for new streams of growth, green jobs and a clean future,” the COP28 President said at a high-level COP Presidencies Troika event, held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
“The UAE Consensus gave us a blueprint for transformation: we must now act on it,” Dr. Al Jaber said at the COP Presidencies Troika’s ‘Roadmap to Mission 1.5: NDC 3.0’ event. The COP Presidencies Troika, an unprecedented collaboration between the COP presidencies of the UAE, Azerbaijan and Brazil, is primarily focused on stimulating the “highest level of ambition” in the next round of NDCs, Dr. Al Jaber said.
While Parties must submit their next round of NDCs by February 2025, submitting them earlier would help build momentum, Dr. Al Jaber said, announcing that the UAE will submit its third NDC ahead of COP29, due to be held in Azerbaijan from 11-22 November.
“Let me take this opportunity to call on all Parties to be early movers and to provide concrete signals on their NDCs by or before COP29 to build momentum during this critical decade of action,” the COP28 President said. “Let’s deliver transformational NDCs backed by serious investment to deliver on the mandate of the UAE Consensus, and let’s drive a new era of sustainable socioeconomic growth that keeps 1.5°C within reach, advances prosperity and leaves no one behind.”
The UAE’s NDC will “cover all greenhouse gases and every sector of the economy, including energy, industry, transportation and waste,” he said. “It will leverage the latest technologies, including AI, to drive decarbonization and enhance adaptive resilience by transforming food, health and early warning systems. And it will back all efforts with a robust legal framework that holds every sector accountable to specific, timebound goals.”
In a call to all Parties, Dr. Al Jaber said that if the next round of NDCs is done right, they can “leverage” the three global megatrends of the energy transition, the rise of AI and the expansion of emerging markets and the Global South.
Dr. Al Jaber said that the UAE has been a leader in diversifying its energy mix, having already more than doubled its renewable energy capacity since 2019 and being on track to more than triple it by 2030.
Dr. Al Jaber also highlighted the progress made by the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) since COP28, which now has 54 members, covering 43 percent of global oil production. For nations looking to incentivize industry sectors in their NDCs, the OGDC demonstrates how “inclusive engagement” can lead to “meaningful results,” he said.
The COP28 President emphasized the importance of finding consensus on a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on finance at COP29 to ensure that finance goes to where it is needed the most.
As part of the Troika’s mission to raise ambition for the next round of NDCs, the COP Presidencies Troika launched an Action and Ambition Majlis series, bringing countries together at events like the Petersberg Climate Dialogue in Germany and the Ministerial on Climate Action in Wuhan, China.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — From September 25-26, HTX DAO made a strong impression at Crypto Summit 2024, as an exclusive sponsor of its registration desk and a key partner. This demonstrates HTX DAO’s commitment to expanding its presence in the CIS region, a vital market for the global growth of its ecosystem and showcases its unique decentralized governance model. Through the Summit, the budding ecosystem attracted a broad array of crypto community members, developers, partners, and users, further strengthening its global community and decentralization.
Anton Belyakov, the operations manager for HTX in the CIS region, delivered a keynote speech titled “Towards Crypto Exchange 2.0: How HTX DAO Redefines Exchange Model to Build Active Crypto Community.”

Belyakov also revealed that HTX DAO’s governance token, $HTX, has seen its value steadily increase thanks to the platform’s growth and the token burning designed to limit supply. At present, the token is traded on 24 exchanges. Since its launch in early 2024, $9 million worth of $HTX tokens have been burned and $42.5 million liquidity pledges have been received by HTX DAO, demonstrating both a robust foundation and strong potential especially within the CIS region.
Looking ahead, Belyakov noted that $HTX has the potential to lead governance tokens in the crypto space, as HTX DAO continues to set a new standard for community-driven exchanges.
The Crypto Summit, held in Moscow from September 25-26 this year, is a major annual event for cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors in Russia and the CIS. The recent event attracted over 7,000 attendees, 70 speakers, and 70 exhibitors. This year’s discussions focused on the industry’s most concerned topics, including investment opportunities, market trends, and regulatory developments.
HTX DAO highlighted the CIS region as a fertile ground for crypto growth, driven by its technology innovation, active communities, and decentralized ethos. Despite regulatory challenges and global financial pressures, the region remains a high-potential market within the global crypto industry. In August alone, HTX DAO and HTX saw their market share rise to 21.2% in the region.
