A large number of representatives from various organisations at the local and federal level attended and issued important recommendations. Workshop participants reviewed the plan to create an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions on the Emirate level in coordination with all concerned sectors. It will provide the foundation to develop policies and strategies to reduce the impact of this phenomenon and reduce carbon emissions.
