Following the event opening remarks, Fatima Al Hajri, Director of the Investment and Talent
Attraction Department at MoE, provided ministerial insights on the topic, and Khalid Tebe,
Climate Policy Specialist at MoCCaE, discussed the UAE carbon market and carbon pricing
initiatives.

The discussions then focused on UAE strategies for managing the challenges and exploring the
opportunities presented by CBAM. Participants engaged in dynamic working group sessions to
assess CBAM preparedness, identify gaps, share best practices, and develop potential
strategies along with an implementation plan.

The sessions were further enriched by presentations from Assia Lomme, Senior Policy Advisor
at His Majesty's Treasury; Ivano Ianelli, Senior Climate Change Advisor at Emirates Global
Aluminum (EGA); Michael Klinkenberg, Policy Officer at the European Commission; and Dan
Maleski, Senior Environmental Markets Advisor and CBAM Lead at Redshaw Advisors Ltd.
The second event of the two-part series on CBAM is tentatively scheduled for November 2024,
where further discussions and refinements of the recommendations will take place.

UICCA Policy Hacks provides a platform for cross-sector stakeholders to come together and
collaboratively tackle specific issues, with the goal of developing actionable solutions and policy
recommendations that support the growth of the green economy.
