Advancing people and planet agendas in the GCC - how can it be done?

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are all facing challenges when it comes to balancing the need for urgent climate action with economic growth and advancing the welfare of workers. So how do you transform GCC economies to a new system that’s both sustainable and takes into account the welfare of workers?

This region of the world has traditionally been heavily focused on oil and gas revenues as the primary source of GDP. At the same time, this area is disproportionately affected by the effects of climate change.

IHRB’s Tamara Juburi discusses this challenge with Tariq Al Olaimy, Managing Director of 3BL Associates, a think tank working in the Middle-East and based in Bahrain.
