Immediate Action Required

Large emitters faced accelerated deadlines in June 2025. All businesses must comply by May 30, 2026.

What the Law Requires

The UAE's first binding climate legislation transforms sustainability from voluntary CSR to mandatory legal obligation. No exemptions for size or sector.

Mandatory MRV

Measure emissions regularly using MOCCAE-approved standards. Prepare detailed inventories and submit periodic reports.

Reduction Targets

Contribute to national climate neutrality through energy efficiency, clean energy, carbon offsetting, or approved technologies.

5-Year Records

Maintain emission quantity records for five years. Ministry-designated judicial officers can access these records.

Full Coverage

Report Scope 1 & 2 emissions across all UAE operations including free zones. Direct and indirect emissions both count.

Adaptation Plans

Assess climate risks to infrastructure, operations, and supply chains. Implement resilience measures.

Carbon Registry

Large emitters must register with the National Carbon Credit Registry. Generate tradable credits by exceeding targets.

Does This Apply to You?

Yes. Federal Decree-Law No. (11) of 2024 applies to all "sources" in the UAE—public and private legal persons, individual enterprises, and entities in free zones.

If your business consumes electricity, operates vehicles, uses fuel, or runs industrial processes, you must comply.
