The UAE Ministry of Health and Community Protection has launched a national plan to adapt to climate change from 2026 to 2031, aiming to protect public health and ensure the continuity of healthcare services amid rising temperatures, dust storms, and changing climate conditions that increase risks of heat-related illnesses, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and communicable diseases, in addition to impacts on mental health and healthcare systems. The plan relies on risk assessment, development of early warning systems, and improvement of healthcare facility preparedness, with a focus on protecting the most vulnerable groups. It concentrates on six key areas, including heat-related illnesses, respiratory diseases, and vector-, water-, and food-borne diseases. Its goal is to reduce the health burden caused by climate change and to achieve policy integration between health and environmental sectors, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and the UAE Vision 2031.
