UAE sets stricter emission target with 40% cut by 2030 – The National

The UAE has set a stricter target for reducing carbon emissions, with major cuts within this decade.

The government is seeking to slash emissions by 40 per cent by 2030 from a business-as-usual level, said the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. This compares with an earlier plan for a 31 per cent reduction.

It will seek reductions from industry, agriculture, and in power grid generation and transport.
