Through collaborative research in climate science, Ajman University's College of Humanities and Sciences is launching critical studies that can help in the UAE's climate mitigation efforts. Led by Dr. Fares Howari's ongoing research with Zayed University focuses on essential climate areas such as sustainable sediment management and the development of local GHG emissions. In particular, the study titled “Enhancing Abu Dhabi's Climate Strategy: The Critical Role of Localized, Sector-Specific Greenhouse Gas Emission Factors” provides an in-depth analysis of emissions from Abu Dhabi’s industrial sectors, delivering data-driven recommendations for effective climate action.
Ajman University’s research into localized climate metrics is vital for building accurate climate policies tailored to the UAE’s unique industrial landscape. By addressing sector-specific emissions, this research contributes to the creation of targeted climate strategies that can significantly reduce the nation's carbon footprint. Additionally, projects centered on renewable energy and carbon capture technologies demonstrate the university's commitment to addressing climate change through scientific and technological approaches.
These collaborative research efforts underscore Ajman University’s dedication to SDG 13: Climate Action. By fostering research alliances that provide localized solutions, the university is a vital component of promoting the UAE's climate objectives and advancing global knowledge in sustainable practices and environmental protection.
