Who is Sultan Al-Jaber?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

We find out why he's a controversial appointment for the COP28 presidency. Sultan Al Jaber’s appointment has been widely questioned because he’s also the boss of Abu Dhabi’s state oil company Adnoc. But supporters point to his work as founder of the green energy giant Masdar. Is he compromised or uniquely qualified? We speak to people who’ve interviewed him, worked with him, and can give us the inside track. Presenter: Sam Fenwick Producer: Lexy O'Connor (Image: Sultan Al-Jaber. Credit: Getty Images)
