Municipal government (Dubai Municipality, Dubai Civil Defense, Department of Finance)
It is related to implementing the local environmental policies and strategy with a view to manage
the environment. These authorities prepare the local regulations and legal implications on the
environmental protection on local level. Municipalities in UAE also work public authorities such
as Water Board, and other authorities who take imperative decisions (Ajmal, Malik, & Saber,
(2017).
However, with the changes in time, in order to strengthen the environment protections and
preservation of the fisheries and livestock, UAE has made progressive changes in its
environment protections and policies program (Ajmal, et al. 2017). The newly policies introduce
by the UAE federal government agency has focused on conserving the water and energy
consumption in its business process. Furthermore, new environment protection SH1 has also
been introduced to mitigate the negative impact of desalination which arises due to the increased
use of CO2 causing acidification of the sea which have eventually and subsequently increase the
level of ocean’s temperature (Hunjra, et al. 2017).
