Summary
This chapter explores the evolving legal and regulatory landscape within the Gulf states, focusing on Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, as these countries strive to curtail carbon emissions. This chapter also offers a prescriptive analysis, proposing custom-designed legal and regulatory frameworks specifically tailored to the unique economic and legal environments of each nation. This analysis details viable carbon reduction strategies that not only promote environmental sustainability and meet their climate pledges but also bolster economic growth, fostering a win–win scenario for the Gulf states. This chapter presents a strategic roadmap for implementing these initiatives within each country’s specific macroeconomic context. By offering actionable and contextually relevant strategies for impactful climate action, this chapter aims to significantly enrich the dialogue on environmental policy and climate change mitigation efforts in the Gulf region.
