Ajman University’s College of Humanities and Sciences has built strategic partnerships with leading institutions like Zayed University and the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi to drive impactful climate action. Through collaboration led by Dr. Fares Howari, the university has developed region-specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emission factors for Abu Dhabi’s industrial sectors. These customized emission factors are essential for generating more accurate climate models, enabling a clearer path for targeted climate mitigation strategies in the UAE.
The collaboration with Zayed University has been especially instrumental in strengthening the UAE’s climate research infrastructure, aligning local insights with broader sustainability objectives. This partnership allows both institutions to exchange critical data that enhances climate action policies at the national level, creating a shared vision for a resilient future. Additionally, partnerships with government entities such as the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi offer valuable support and data access, enhancing Ajman University's research efforts.
These initiatives reflect the university's commitment to SDG 13: Climate Action, highlighting the role of academic partners in advancing national climate goals. By fostering regional collaborations, Ajman University is not only contributing to climate science but also supporting policies that advocate for sustainable practices across various sectors. These collaborations demonstrate the power of unified research efforts to develop climate solutions that align with the UAE's environmental vision.
