It is high time to take a closer look at this small but ambitious desert state, which owes its wealth and political influence to the sale of oil and gas. Recently, however, a radical change has been taking place in the oil-rich Gulf monarchies on the Arabian Peninsula, and the Emirates are leading the way. What are the emirate's motives and what is behind the \u201egreen hype\u201c? How can a climate-neutral energy transition take place in a country trimmed for oil? The lecture will address these and other questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tobias Zumbr\u00e4gel<\/strong> is a historian, political scientist and Islamic scholar specialising in the Middle East.
