Summary
Developed with our Advisory Board and Steering Committee, the report sets out what effective climate governance looks like in a UAE context — from board composition and committee mandates to the questions directors should be asking management each quarter.
It draws on interviews with directors across energy, financial services, real estate and sovereign investment, alongside the national policy framework that now shapes disclosure and transition planning in the Emirates.
Each chapter closes with a short board-ready checklist, designed to be lifted straight into a meeting pack.
What you will find inside
- Where climate belongs on the board agenda — and who owns it
- How to test a transition plan without becoming the management team
- Disclosure readiness under UAE and global reporting regimes
