In 2019, Dubai Airports reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 0.00163 kg CO2e per passenger. This figure remained consistent in 2021, indicating a stable emissions profile in terms of passenger-related carbon output. However, specific total emissions data for these years is not disclosed. Currently, Dubai Airports has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of defined targets suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. As a major global aviation hub, Dubai Airports is positioned to enhance its sustainability efforts, particularly in reducing carbon emissions associated with airport operations. The focus on Scope 1 and 2 emissions highlights the importance of direct and indirect emissions management in their climate commitments.
