The ministry said the UAE\u2019s new, more ambitious emissions-cutting target, announced earlier this month, was a &#8220;substantial acceleration&#8221; of its path towards having net zero emissions by 2050.The new goal is &#8220;bringing the UAE in line with the ambition and determination shown by many of our most progressive climate partners to keep 1.5C within reach,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>In its analysis, CAT said the UAE&#8217;s plans to expand oil and gas production and consumption would bust the country\u2019s climate targets &#8211; even if it expanded clean energy sources at the same time &#8211; and were inconsistent with limiting global warming to 1.5C.<\/p>\n<p>Countries agreed under the Paris Agreement to curb climate change to 1.5 Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the limit scientists say would avoid impacts far more disastrous than the deadly wildfires, heat and floods already ravaging countries around the world today. The UAE\u2019s new target is to cut emissions 40% by 2030 compared with where emissions would have stood under a &#8220;business as usual&#8221; scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/uae-says-committed-meet-co2-emissions-targets-after-criticism-2023-07-24\/\">Reuters<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/111966\/\">UAE says committed to meet CO2 emissions targets after criticism<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[73,703,575,2312,10812,10813],"class_list":["post-115617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-co2","tag-emissions","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-meet","tag-targets","tag-ueacommitted"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115617\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
