UAE Takes Strides In Environment Protection

Reducing Nitrogen Oxide Emissions In UAE: Study Results

The study measured the intensity of nitrogen oxide emissions associated with power generation to establish a baseline and monitor the reduction in emissions intensity within this sector.

The findings were based on data from 2020, highlighting a significant decline in nitrogen oxide emissions compared to recorded data from 2015.

This announcement aligns with the UAE's preparations to host the Conference of Parties (COP28) for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and underscores the country's commitment to reducing harmful emissions, particularly those from power generation activities.

The study's outcomes align with the "National Air Quality Agenda 2031," introduced by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and approved by the Cabinet.

This agenda provides a comprehensive framework to guide and coordinate efforts across federal and local government entities and private sector institutions in monitoring and managing air quality effectively.

Its objective is to mitigate pollution, improve air quality, foster a safe and healthy environment, and enhance the overall quality of life in alignment with the UAE Centennial 2071 targets.
