UAE to Announce New Climate Plan Before COP29, Setting Global Precedent
The United Arab Emirates plans to release its new national climate plan under the Paris Agreement ahead of the COP29 climate summit in November, setting a precedent for other countries to follow.
Sultan Al Jaber, president of last year’s COP28 summit, announced that the UAE will submit its updated “nationally determined contribution (NDC)” to the United Nations. The new NDC will outline how the oil-producing nation aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions from 2025 to 2035.
