IN PROACTIVE THIRD UPDATE TO SECOND NDC

 * The Third Update of the Second NDC raises UAE’s ambition for emission
   reduction with targets for all sectors.
 * Updated NDC demonstrates the UAE’s ‘Pro-Climate, Pro-Growth’ approach to
   reducing its environmental footprint while assuring economic, social, and
   sustainable growth.  
 * Ambitious pathway is compatible with the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 goals and
   reflects commitment to Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to
   below 2 degrees while pursing all measures to limit it to well below 1.5
   degree by end of this century.
 * UAE demonstrates leadership, setting a precedent by reporting its emissions
   reduction target using a rigorous model followed by developed nations,
   despite being officially categorized as a developing country.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES:– Following the UAE Cabinet’s approval of the Third
Update of the country’s Second Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under
the Paris Agreement, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE)
today announced a comprehensive roadmap to achieving 40 per cent emission
reduction by 2030 compared to business as usual.

The Third Update of the Second NDC marks a nationwide emissions reduction
commitment with clear targets set for all domestic sectors. This will bring the
entire nation together, including the public and private sector, to accelerate
the UAE’s journey to Net Zero emissions by 2050.

Her Excellency Mariam Almheiri, UAE Minister of Climate Change and Environment,
said the Third Update of the Second NDC marks a step-change in the nation’s
approach to greenhouse gas emission reduction.





“In the Year of Sustainability, when our nation hosts COP28, this milestone
announcement underlines our national commitment to more ambitious climate
action. The UAE believes that climate action across every aspect of our economy
is vital for creating a prosperous future.”

“The UAE, under the leadership of our President His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin
Zayed Al Nahyan, views climate action not only as a strategic imperative for the
environment and our future generations, but also as an opportunity for
sustainable economic growth and socially inclusive prosperity,” HE Almheiri
said.

“We have progressively raised ambition in less than three years, highlighted by
the commitment to reduce emissions by 23.5 per cent in our Second NDC; decreased
this further to 31 per cent in our Second Updated NDC; and pushed our efforts
even further to reach a reduction of 40 per cent in our Third Update of our
Second NDC compared to business as usual.”





A bold approach with clear targets

Despite being officially classified as a developing country, the UAE has taken a
further step in its commitment and is following the model of developed countries
for its Third Update of its Second NDC by using fixed level and base year
targets.

Accordingly, net greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced from an expected 208
MtCO2e, as announced in the Updated Second NDC in 2022 to 182 MtCO2e by 2030.
This marks an absolute emissions reduction of 19 per cent compared to the 2019
base year level.

The UAE’s voluntary and proactive new approach ensures that its emission
reduction goals are transparent and easier to track, resulting in beneficial
outcomes that align directly with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

All domestic sectors such as power and water generation, heavy industry,
transport, waste, buildings, and agriculture will collectively reduce emissions
as per specific sectoral targets. The nation has developed a concrete
implementation roadmap, including improved governance structures and new policy
initiatives.

The new update also reflects the UAE’s commitment to the outcomes of Paris
Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees while pursing all
measures to limit it to well below 1.5 degree by end of this century.

A Pro-Climate, Pro-Growth Strategy

The Third Update of the Second NDC builds on the UAE Cabinet’s approval of the
recently announced updated UAE National Energy Strategy 2050 and comprehensive
National Hydrogen Strategy, which has emerged as one of the most important clean
energy sources available today.

The UAE plans to triple its investments in renewable energy in the coming seven
years and establish a specialised national research and development centre for
the hydrogen sector.

All these reflects the UAE’s ‘pro-climate, pro-growth’ philosophy - the desire
to reduce the UAE’s environmental footprint, while driving economic, social, and
sustainable opportunities that climate action creates.

Pan-Governmental Action

The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment engaged all entities in a
nationwide process to update the NDC, with all levels of government (including
federal-, emirate-, and city- and municipality-level) working together to
develop the roadmap to reach 2030 targets.

The UAE conducted over 100 bilateral meetings with public and private entities,
as well as dedicated workshops, creating more than 110 opportunities for
stakeholders to contribute to the process, resulting in around 800 feedback
submissions. These were closely considered by the Ministry of Climate Change and
Environment as part of the development of the updated NDC. Throughout the
process, the Government considered the needs of vulnerable groups, including
youth, women, children, and people of determination.
