In a significant effort to enhance environmental conservation, the Environment Agency — Abu Dhabi (EAD) has introduced new regulations that impose tougher administrative penalties on activities that damage the environment. This move aims to strengthen the enforcement of environmental standards and safeguard the emirate’s natural resources.

The new framework enables the EAD to take swift action against violators, operating independently of judicial procedures. This approach is designed to tackle environmental degradation effectively while allowing offenders the opportunity to appeal their penalties within a 60-day timeframe.

These changes reflect Abu Dhabi’s commitment to improving oversight and action regarding environmental issues, ensuring that violators face appropriate consequences for their actions.
