The UAE has introduced Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024 to strengthen its climate action efforts, with implementation starting May 30, 2025. The law sets out clear goals for emission reduction, climate resilience, and global cooperation, while mandating carbon reporting, offsets, and ESG integration. It also outlines strict penalties for non-compliance and aims to align public and private entities with national climate targets. This marks a major step in the UAE’s journey toward sustainable development and net-zero emissions.
