Carbon Emissions

Carbon emissions have increased over the last 30 years ago, especially in the Middle East and to a lesser extent in North Africa. The Arabian Gulf region has some of the oil rich countries with the highest rate of emissions in the world. This large ecological footprint is because the resource is cheap and always available. Qatar had the highest carbon emissions, 10 times more than the average. North African countries have the lowest footprint with less than the half of the global average.

The United Arab Emirates is fourth highest in the world and consequently has launched a project to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases .This responsible behavior is encouraged by the government to make us environmentally aware and to monitor the levels of emissions and to build areas that absorb gases.
