Al Jazeera
The nation of 10 million has one of the world’s highest emissions rates per capita, ahead of Australia and the US.
The United Arab Emirates has become the first of the Persian Gulf’s petrostates to commit to eliminating planet-warming emissions within its borders.
“The UAE net-zero initiative will provide us with precision and boost our efforts to accelerate the energy transition,” the Department of Energy of Abu Dhabi, the capital, said in a statement.
Dubai’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, earlier said the UAE would invest almost $165 billion in clean energy by 2050.
