Abu Dhabi Sets Course for Climate Action With 25-Year Plan
Abu Dhabi just rolled out its first-ever Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Environment Sector, a major step in tackling the emirate's climate challenges head-on. Join our FREE WhatsApp channel to dive into a world of real-time engagement! Unveiled by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD), the plan spans from 2025 to 2050 and is a science-based roadmap focused on protecting the emirate's groundwater, soil, and biodiversity, all of which are critical to the UAE's long-term water security, agriculture, and ecosystems. This plan is part of the wider Abu Dhabi Climate Change Strategy 2023–2027, and aligns with national efforts like the UAE National Climate Change Plan 2017–2050 and the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience, introduced at COP28. A Defining Moment for Abu Dhabi Calling it a 'defining moment,' Dr. Shaikha Salem Al Dhaheri, Secretary-General of EAD, said this plan shows Abu Dhabi is moving from planning to action when it comes to climate resilience. 'We are preparing for climate realities with an unwavering commitment to safeguarding our natural heritage,' she said. Dr. Al Dhaheri added that the plan will boost the resilience of natural resources, protect biodiversity, and support food and water security—all while aligning with the UAE's climate goals and Sustainable Development Goals. 142 Adaptation Actions by 2050 The roadmap identifies 142 climate adaptation actions, including 86 high-priority projects that will be carried out in the next five years. These range from nature-based solutions to technical and institutional interventions. By focusing on vulnerable systems like groundwater, soil, and biodiversity, the plan helps reduce environmental risks, maintain public health, and strengthen food production systems. A Long-Term Vision Backed by Data According to Sheikha Al Mazrouei, Executive Director of Integrated Environment Policy and Planning at EAD, the plan is built to evolve over time. It incorporates the latest data, updated climate projections, and includes regular reviews to stay relevant and effective. 'This is part of a bigger vision to protect our ecosystems, secure natural resources, and ensure the well-being of future generations,' Al Mazrouei said. Collaborative, Inclusive and Future-Focused More than 40 entities, from government bodies to universities and youth groups, helped shape the plan, making it one of the most collaborative climate initiatives in the region. This is one of four sectoral plans under Abu Dhabi's wider climate adaptation strategy, further reinforcing the emirate's leadership in regional environmental policy. Why This Matters Protects natural resources at risk from climate change Supports food and water security for the future Aligns with national and global climate goals Builds ecosystem and community resilience With this bold, 25-year plan, Abu Dhabi is sending a clear message: the time for climate action is now and the emirate is ready.
