1. PROJECT BRIEF
Dubai’s Carbon Abatement Strategy set the
course of actions to be adopted by Dubai
Government in order to manage Dubai's
GHG emissions until 2021 compared to its
business as usual scenario. The project
developed a long-term plan to reduce
carbon emissions and assigned sub-national
stakeholders sectorial responsibilities based
on the source of emissions and ability to
influence policy while monitoring progress.
The strategy to reduce carbon emissions is
the first of its kind in the region. It supports
the UAE Vision 2021, which aims to transform
the UAE to be one of the best countries in the
world by 2021. The strategy is part of Dubai
2021 Plan
