Following the UAE Cabinet’s approval of the third update of the country’s Second Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) on Tuesday announced a comprehensive roadmap to achieving 40 per cent emission reduction by 2030 compared to business as usual.
The third update of the Second NDC marks a nationwide emissions reduction commitment with clear targets set for all domestic sectors. This will bring the entire nation together, including the public and private sector, to accelerate the UAE’s journey to Net Zero emissions by 2050.
“In the Year of Sustainability, when our nation hosts COP28, this milestone announcement underlines our national commitment to more ambitious climate action. The UAE believes that climate action across every aspect of our economy is vital for creating a prosperous future.”
The UAE, under the leadership of our President Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, views climate action not only as a strategic imperative for the environment and our future generations, but also as an opportunity for sustainable economic growth and socially inclusive prosperity,” Almheiri said.
