Climate Action
Climate change is one of the biggest threats facing the planet and humanity
People and nature worldwide are already feeling the effects: from droughts, fires, flooding and heat waves caused by extreme weather to the loss of coral reefs due to changes in ocean temperature. And these impacts will only worsen if the global temperature continues to rise.
The good news is that many progressive companies, cities, investors and economic sectors are joining communities to take climate action - and we can still escape the worst impacts of climate change, building a safer future for all.
But we need to do more, and faster.
In 2023, the UAE hosted the UN climate change conference COP28 and unified the global community to agree – for the first time – to transition away from fossil fuels. The ground-breaking UAE Consensus agreement signifies a major step towards a net zero future and a chance to get back on track towards the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Domestically, the UAE is working towards ambitions to reach net zero by 2050 which requires the private and public sectors to continue ramping up action on climate mitigation, adaptation, finance and nature.
Through our projects and engagement with stakeholders, we are actively advancing dialogue around climate action across sectors and stakeholders, positioning the UAE’s private sector at the forefront of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and empowering civil society to contribute to the UAE’s low-carbon journey.
