Energy Transformation and the UAE Green Economy

What is it about?

In 2015, on the initiative of Poland and Croatia, the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) was adopted, combining economic and political cooperation between 12 countries of Central and Eastern Europe, located between the three seas of the Adriatic, the Baltic, and the Black Sea. Since then, there has been a dynamic relationship between these countries and the United Arab Emirates. Consequently, most 3SI states have signed economic cooperation agreements, establishing the Joint Economic Committees (JEC). Therefore, this manuscript aims to answer the research question of to what extent the visits at the highest level support the trade exchange between the United Arab Emirates (UAE)and the 3SI countries. Another question is, what are the cooperation prospects related to the energy transformation and initiatives on the green economy for sustainable development? The author implemented quantitative methods and case studies to find the answer. The results show that regular top-level visits support trade. At the same time, the study demonstrates a strategic potential for energy transformation.

Why is it important?

This manuscript is the first study on the UAE’s green economy with all 3SI countries. So far, no author has touched upon this issue. Therefore, it fills the research gap in the international literature.
