The United Arab Emirates’ efforts to cut emissions were labeled “insufficient,” even after the Middle East nation — the host of this year’s United Nations climate summit — announced fresh targets.
The UAE has submitted a stronger emissions plan to the UN, but there’s still “too little action in the real economy,” nonprofit Climate Action Tracker said Thursday in a report. It’s a blow to the credibility of the country, which has touted its new goals as “ambitious” and called on other nations to follow suit.
