UAE's Strategic Role in BRICS: Pledge to Multilateralism and Climate Action

By Abubakar Hussein

The UAE's participation in the recently held BRICS High-Level Dialogue on Climate Change in Moscow on 30th August 2024 solidifies the nation's utmost commitment to multilateralism and constructive dialogue at the global level. The participation has been headed by Dr. Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak Al Shamsi, Minister of Climate Change and the Environment, reflecting the proactive approach the country is making toward climate action and sustainable development.

National Climate Actions of the UAE

During the first session of the dialogue, Dr. Amna Al Dahak began by underlining ambitious UAE's climate objectives: "A commitment was made throughout the nation last year to a reduction of emissions by 40% from a business-as-usual scenario by 2030." This was in the third edition of UAE's second Nationally Determined Contributions report. This pledge is complementary to the UAE's Net Zero 2050 Strategy since it treads the path of holistic emission reductions in several aspects, leading to the modern conceptualization of a sustainable future.

Dr. Al Dahak has also reminded everybody of the big UAE investment in renewable energy. The UAE invested US$50 billion in renewable projects in more than 70 countries during all these years and pledged an extra US$50 billion investment over the next ten years. These kinds of investments show the commitment of the UAE to sustainable development nationally and internationally.

Strengthen International Cooperation under BRICS

In the second session, which was on climate change and cooperation in sustainable development among BRICS countries, Dr. Amna Al Dahak mentioned that the UAE would advance its international cooperation, putting into perspective the development of co-operation in carbon markets submitted by the BRICS Group to handle global challenges due to climatic change.

"The UAE is committed to enhancing its national efforts to combat climate change and contributing to international initiatives in promoting climate action," Dr. Al Dahak said. She further made sure to stress the need for a collective response, noting that without such cooperation, efforts around the world on pressing issues-hunger, poverty, ill health, and the availability of clean water and energy-can be significantly undermined.

UAE Joins BRICS: New Chapter in Global Partnerships

The recent accession of the UAE to BRICS is a big step in a long tradition of building up a system of mutually beneficial partnerships with countries and international organizations. It perfectly fits into the priority of economic growth, trade increase, and global sustainable development by the UAE.

Through its membership in BRICS, the UAE aspires to underpin its commitment toward development, prosperity, and wellbeing among nations worldwide. Innovation, close-up economic integration, and robust international governance are a number of the specific perspectives that would indeed gain from UAE-BRICS states cooperation. This agreement thus brings up new frontiers in the field of investment, infrastructure, energy, space, and emerging technologies and enhances greater overall cooperation and collaboration of BRICS with other regions in the direction of responding to common global challenges.

In this context, active UAE participation in the BRICS High-Level Dialogue on Climate Change, as well as the accession of this country to BRICS, are evidence of a strategic course toward multilateralism and global cooperation at the state level. The UAE then turns into one of the key players in providing international collaboration with driving practical activity on climate change and post-2015 sustainable development in the world facing challenges that are getting more complex day by day. The UAE continues to create a path toward a more prosperous, sustainable, and resilient future for all through its partnerships with the BRICS countries.

A Heartbreaking Story of Betrayal: Baidoa, Somalia Family War

By
A terrible tale of treachery within an extended family in the center of Baidoa, Somalia, rocked the neighborhood and may never fully heal the wounds. A man and his two wives' apparently peaceful union turned into a bloody nightmare. The man at the center of this turbulent family dynamic had married twice in an attempt to create a happy and caring home. But over time, jealousy, resentment, and conflicting demands for status and love kept tensions simmering beneath the surface. The two wives, both fighting for their husband's attention and supremacy, broke out into full-scale combat. Tragically, one woman killed her opponent in cold blood as her enragement and jealousy went out of control. Devastation trailed behind this horrible deed's consequences. The needless violence that had engulfed their family left two defenseless children—a girl and a boy—orphaned and their lives destroyed. Tragically, that was not the end of their misery. Unbelievably, the lady who had killed t
