The adverse effect of climate change is being observed around the world which led to Middle East and North Africa region (as defined by World Bank, 2003) countries to come together to accelerate their efforts to implement Paris Agreement. The United Nations Climate Change Conference (UNCCC) COP 27 at Egypt and COP 28 to be held in the United Arab Emirates have taken the baton from the European nations to follow Net Zero targets through sustainable measures to preserve the environment. As the region embarks on its energy transition journey, there are several challenges which would be faced by the decision makers, regulatory bodies, industry players, consumers etc.
