Dubai plans to reduce carbon emissions 30% by 2030: Govt media office

Dubai plans to cut carbon emissions by 30% by the end of 2030, the Emirate's government media office said on Sunday on its website.

The plan is part of a broader strategy, announced by the United Arab Emirates in October, to achieve carbon emission neutrality by 2050, the office said.

Dubai, a major regional business, financial and logistics hub, is the second-largest and wealthiest Emirate making up the seven-member UAE federation, following oil-rich Abu Dhabi.
