Abu Dhabi Government's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, the Abu Dhabi Government reported total carbon emissions of approximately 517,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 5,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and a significant 512,000 kg CO2e from both Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions. The previous year, 2022, saw total emissions of about 437,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 12,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 and 3 emissions at 425,000 kg CO2e each. In 2021, total emissions were recorded at around 73,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 7,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 66,430 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, the Abu Dhabi Government has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. The government’s emissions profile indicates a reliance on energy-intensive processes, particularly in Scope 2 and 3 categories, which highlights the importance of transitioning to more sustainable practices to meet future climate commitments.
