Climate Frontiers
Forums tracing the path from regulation to implementation — from what UAE law requires, to the science, to the sectors that will decide the Gulf's net-zero future.
Across the Gulf, a quiet transformation is underway. From the deserts to the coral reefs, from the turbines on the coastline to the laws being written today — forums will trace the path from regulation to implementation. This is Climate Frontiers. Come, and help shape the region's net-zero future.
From regulation to implementation
Each forum grounds policy in science, then applies both to the region's highest-impact sectors — construction and industrial decarbonisation.
The compliance imperative
Decarbonisation obligations under UAE Federal Law No. 11 — what the law requires, how penalty tiers apply, and aligning targets with national NDCs.
State of the climate
Where global and regional emissions stand today — the remaining carbon budget and what it means for Gulf economies specifically.
Building circular
Materials and models for a growing Ras Al Khaimah — circularity set directly against the emirate's active development pipeline.
Capturing carbon
Scaling CCS for the Gulf — technical and commercial pathways, the regional project pipeline, and financing the transition.
A morning built for depth, not breadth

Convened by the people building the transition
Climate Frontiers is a series of events on climate and the sustainable economy, held in Ras Al Khaimah and produced by the Clean Energy Business Council MENA (CEBC) in partnership with RAKEZ (TBC).
Climate Frontiers is co-presented by CEBC and RAKEZ (TBC), with Kai Kata powering programme design and convening.
