Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024 addresses the reduction of climate change effects. Article 6 sets measurement, reporting and record-keeping duties for sources designated by the Ministry and competent authority. Confirm your entity's applicable requirements with that authority.
UAE Legislation — Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024, Article 6
Confirm the reporting perimeter first
Before selecting a reporting tool, identify the legal entities, assets, activities and responsible authority involved. Ask for the current applicable decisions, reporting period, submission channel and verification requirements. Record the answers and nominate an internal owner.
A portfolio can contain different ownership, lease and operational arrangements. A building's electricity meter does not automatically define the boundary of the corporate emissions inventory. Resolve these differences before combining site records.
Build a traceable evidence pack
Create an asset register and gather electricity, cooling, fuel and other relevant activity records. Identify who supplies each dataset, its unit, coverage period and supporting document. Keep originals alongside the working calculation and explain missing periods rather than silently treating them as zero.
Document the inventory methodology, emission factors and assumptions used. Assign a reviewer to check boundaries, units, duplicate records and unusual changes. This makes the inventory easier to explain and update when reporting instructions change.
Turn the inventory into engineering decisions
Use energy audits to investigate major loads and distinguish avoidable consumption from the energy needed for the site's activity. Compare controls improvements, HVAC work, equipment renewal and renewable-energy options against operational constraints and investment assumptions.
Give each selected measure an owner, implementation milestone and method of checking the result. Keep estimated reductions separate from verified outcomes. A measurement and verification plan helps the team assess performance when weather, occupancy or production changes.
Questions to resolve before submission
Confirm which entities and emission sources must report, which methodology and factors are accepted, who approves the submission and whether independent verification is required. Check the applicable timetable directly with the responsible authority.
