Dubai, which is hosting the global COP28 climate summit, set a stricter target to cut its carbon emissions in half by the end of this decade.
The emirate already has an aim to achieve net zero discharges by 2050, in line with the United Arab Emirates’ national target. The UAE itself said in July it will reduce emissions by 40% in seven years from a business-as-usual level. The Dubai government had early last year set a goal for a 30% reduction.
