DUBAI: The UAE’s commitment to climate action with a pledge of 187 billion dirhams ($50 billion) is yet another milestone in its long history, according to Minister of Climate Change and the Environment Mariam bint Mohammed Al-Mheiri.

Due to the future-oriented vision of its wise leadership, he said the UAE has joined the ranks of countries that are at the forefront of the fight against climate change.

The UAE has introduced multiple roadmaps along the way to reinforce its commitment to climate action and the Paris Agreement.

Among these are the UAE Hydrogen Leadership Roadmap, which seeks to position the country as a world leader in producing and exporting green and blue hydrogen, and the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategy.
