7 Emirates To Sign Net Zero 2050 Charter: UAE

The Charter Provides For The Development Of Policies and Strategies For Climate Action.

It depends on measuring and keeping track of greenhouse gas emissions in each of the seven emirates, as well as figuring out what activities and processes cause the emissions.

According to the report, it will focus on the most important areas and opportunities in the National Net Zero 2050 Pathway, such as transportation, construction, industry, and other sectors.

According to the report, the federal government — represented by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment — and the local governments of the seven emirates will cooperate to implement and monitor initiatives and measures to mitigate the effects of climate change on biodiversity, the environment, biosecurity, and public health.

The goals of the National Net Zero by 2050 pathway were revealed at the 27th UN Climate Change Conference (COP27), and the charter backs those goals.

The charter was signed by Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, Minister of Climate Change and Environment; the secretary-generals of the executive councils of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah; and the director of the Emiri Court of Fujairah.

Almheiri highlighted how climate change affects public health, food and water security, wildlife and biodiversity, and causes air pollution.

She said that the charter will help with global climate action so that people can have a better future.

As part of the charter, local governments will be able to exchange experiences, practises, technologies, and innovative solutions.

Governments will be responsible for spreading knowledge and educating society on climate change issues. They will engage the public in addressing the global issue, concluded the report.
