At the event, Rojas thanked President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan for the honor and praised the historic UAE Consensus reached at COP28, which served as a foundation for global climate action and sustainability and a major reference framework.

For his part, Al Neyadi congratulated Rojas on the prize and emphasized the need of promoting more international collaboration and partnership in the application of sustainability principles on a larger scale, considering the current global shifts.

Al Neyadi also praised Chile’s support of the historic UAE Consensus, which promotes cooperation and coordination to protect people and the environment, as well as its participation at COP28.
