The UAE's own commitments under the Paris Agreement are not impressive; it has adopted a national policy of supplying half of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2050 and achieving domestic carbon neutrality — which pointedly excludes any calculation of the carbon footprint of its oil and gas exports.
