Middle East OVERVIEW

The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) is seeking $10 million over five years to implement a strategy for decarbonization in the Middle East. The initiative focuses on transitioning the region away from unabated fossil fuels, diversifying economies, and establishing a shared climate vision among Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Key objectives include reducing methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030 and deploying technologies such as carbon management, zero-carbon fuels, and nuclear energy.

• The Middle East's transition is essential for global climate action because the region contains some of the world's largest energy exporters with economies heavily dependent on unabated fossil fuels.
• CATF's goals for the region include the creation of a shared Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) climate vision and the achievement of a 30 percent reduction in methane emissions by 2030 for Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
