New environmental emergency rule issued
Gulf Today
|May 10, 2025
The Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi (EAD) has issued a new regulation on environmental emergency preparedness and response in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
-
This regulation empowers the Agency to take immediate and decisive action in the event of potential environmental emergencies, minimising their impacts and ensuring proactive environmental protection through its established procedures.
Developed under Law No. 16 of 2005 concerning the reorganisation of EAD and its amendments, the regulation applies to all facilities and projects in Abu Dhabi that require licensing by the Agency.
It specifically governs entities whose activities result in, or may lead to, environmental pollution affecting marine or terrestrial ecosystems or air quality, potentially triggering an environmental emergency.
