By signing the charter, the governments of the seven emirates have affirmed their commitment to contributing to achieving the National Net Zero by 2050.

In 2021, the country launched the world's largest single-site solar energy project, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which aims to provide clean energy to over 1.3 million people.

The Net Zero 2050 Charter builds on the UAE's commitment to sustainability and reinforces the country's efforts to combat climate change. It sends a strong message to the international community that the UAE is taking significant steps towards a more sustainable future.

In conclusion, the UAE Government's Net Zero 2050 Charter is a significant step towards achieving the National Net Zero by 2050 and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Report.
