UAE Climate Change Law: What Businesses Need to Know
Live interview on Dubai EyeAs the UAE transitions to mandatory climate reporting under its landmark Climate Change Law, sustainability is becoming a core business requirement rather than a compliance afterthought. The law (Federal Decree Law No. 11 of 2024 on the Reduction of Climate Change Effects) came into force on 30 May 2025, with a full compliance deadline of 30 May 2026 for businesses to measure, report and manage their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
