Low-carbon Techs enhance Abu Dhabi strategy for climate change.
Climate change is a long-term change in the global climate.
The world is witnessing severe climate changes with the rapid development in all fields.
Which has led governments to seriously consider taking practical steps to address these changes.
The United Arab Emirates was among the pioneers in adopting “sustainability” as one of the main pillars of its development strategy.
The Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi (EAD) has confirmed that it is working to take proactive measures.
Which aims to provide new proposals and solutions to enhance economic diversification through innovation and the use of low-carbon techs.
Furthermore, EAD noted that the Climate Change Strategy for Abu Dhabi has identified two main axes to ensure business continuity.
Also to enhance its resilience in the face of the risks of climate change.
The first axis is to reduce emissions while maintaining economic growth by the use of low-carbon techs and innovation.
While the second axis focuses on enhancing the resilience of the main economic sectors in adapting to the expected risks.
Furthermore, EAD stressed on Abu Dhabi commitment to achieve its target of reducing emissions by 47 million tons of greenhouse gases by 2030.
EAD noted that it will reduce the emirate’s emissions by 22% over the next five years from the level of total emissions in 2016.
This is equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions stored by 500 million trees for 10 years.
In order to ensure the protection of infrastructure, energy, environment, and health sectors from the effects of climate change by 2050.
EAD indicated that the Climate Change Strategy for Abu Dhabi aims to enhance the emirate’s resilience in the face of the risks of climate change.
Also it aims to support efforts to achieve climate neutrality goals.
As well as enhancing the emirate’s contribution to supporting the UAE’s global leadership role in the following:
-Field of sustainability.
-Attracting investments.
-Ensuring sustainable economic growth.
Also you can read: UAE attracted 57% of (FDI) Foreign Direct Investment Projects.
Also, it pointed out that Abu Dhabi’s status as one of the most resilient and adaptable cities to the effects of climate change in the region.
Which makes it a more attractive destination for investment, talent, and business projects.
EAD explained that the axes of mitigation and adaptation to climate change will be implemented through 81 innovatives.
as well as 12 strategic projects in various related vital areas, including the following:
-Production of low-emission vehicles.
-Encouraging the planting of mangrove trees.
–Supporting sustainable sourcing initiatives.
-Strengthening building codes.
–Supporting investment and innovation in the environmental field.
-Developing negative carbon technologies.
–Carbon removal methods.
–Cleaner renewable resources.
It is worth noting that the launch of the Climate Change Strategy for Abu Dhabi demonstrates the UAE’s climate leadership at the regional and international levels.
Also its supports the goals of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
Since the UAE was the first country in the region to join the agreement and sign its terms.
Also it is the first country to convert its energy supplies to clean energy by transitioning to renewable energy sources.
As well as setting a plan to reach climate neutrality by 2050.
Mangrove-Abu Dhabi initiative.
EAD confirmed that this initiative enhances the emirate’s status as a leading global center for research and innovation in the field of mangrove conservation.
It noted that this initiative is a platform that aims to develop innovative solutions for planting mangrove trees.
Also contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change, and encourage community members to contribute to environmental conservation.
In addition, it has established a developed nursery for mangrove trees in Abu Dhabi to become a center for research and studies.
The EAD pointed out that it successfully completed the second phase of the “Blue Carbon” environmental and social responsibility project.
Which aims to conserve mangrove trees in the emirate.
This phase included the scattering of more than 35,000 mangrove seeds in the harbor area using the innovative drone technology for agriculture.
