Expanding Global Partnerships

The Sultanate of Oman is aggressively expanding its international climate partnerships. Represented by the Oman Zero Neutrality Centre, the Ministry of Energy and Minerals successfully signed 10 major international cooperation agreements today on the sidelines of the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Turkey. The massive partnerships include powerful global entities like the UK Export Finance Agency, ESCWA, the German Agency for International Cooperation, and the Global Carbon Footprint Council.

Accelerating the 2050 Targets

His Excellency Engineer Salem bin Nasser Al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals, affirmed that these deals are not just symbolic. They are designed to mobilise the heavy investments and advanced technologies required to accelerate Oman’s progress towards its strict net-zero neutrality targets by 2050. The Sultanate also officially joined the Global Clean Energy Alliance's supply chain mission and the Renewable Energy Alliance's coal-free energy initiative to completely integrate with global climate action frameworks.

Building the Mizan Platform

Engineer Mohsen bin Sulaiman Al-Jabri, Director General of the Oman Zero Neutrality Centre, explained that these agreements will directly fund the development of the national carbon register through the “Mizan” platform. By enhancing the systems used to measure and verify emissions, Oman is raising the readiness of its national projects to meet strict international standards, ensuring they easily attract the billions in climate financing necessary for implementation.
