However, requests by environmentally conscious nations to gradually phase out fossil fuels have put a strain on negotiations; the main opposition comes from Saudi Arabia and the OPEC oil cartel.
Although he has not advocated for a quick transition, Jaber has stated that moving away from coal, gas, and oil is “inevitable” despite his experience in the oil industry.
“Now is the time to put aside self-interest for the common interest,” Jaber stated.
