COP outcomes matter in the GCC when they change what gets funded, what gets bought, and what gets audited. COP29 (Baku, 2024) agreed a quantified post‑2025 New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance, with developed countries taking the lead in mobilizing USD 300bn per year by 2035 for developing countries and a broader collective […]

Financed emissions are the portion of a counterparty’s greenhouse gas emissions attributed to a financial institution’s loans and investments (Scope 3 Category 15: Investments). In the GCC, financed emissions programs most often break on three points: inconsistent attribution in syndicated and structured financing, uneven portfolio coverage, and weak auditability when evidence is scattered across PDFs, […]

Dubai’s most practical path to aviation decarbonisation is staged: scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) first, industrialise power-to-liquid (PtL) e-fuels next, and prepare for hydrogen infrastructure where it delivers earlier value (airside and ground operations) while aircraft technology matures. The main risk is not only fuel supply, but credibility: aviation fuel claims need lifecycle accounting, chain-of-custody, […]

Buying local doesn’t automatically reduce Scope 3 emissions. Local sourcing often lowers emissions when it reduces air freight, damage/waste, or enables circular flows, but it can increase emissions if local production is more carbon-intensive than your current supplier. The most defensible approach is to compare scenarios using supplier production data plus logistics activity data aligned […]

Sustainability in the GCC is shifting from voluntary disclosure to a governance and risk requirement, driven by national strategies and a growing focus on investor-grade reporting. As Scope 1 to 3 expectations expand, organisations are moving away from spreadsheet-led reporting toward audit-ready carbon data infrastructure. AI-enabled carbon platforms help teams ingest fragmented data, including invoices […]

Takeaways from Dubai Fintech Week: enterprises want audit-ready emissions data, trusted credits, and product-ready climate tools that are easy to explain.

A carbon credit represents the reduction or removal of one metric ton of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent). Credits are issued to verified projects and can be used by organizations to compensate for emissions in both regulated compliance programs and voluntary markets.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of carbon emissions (operational emissions and supply chain emissions). Operational emissions comprise Scope 1 and 2, while supply chain emissions are considered Scope 3.

The COP28 climate summit in Dubai brought together leaders from governments, business, academia, and civil society to shape the future of climate action. Coral attended as a UAE-based startup, forging partnerships and supporting businesses worldwide in meeting their sustainability goals.

The carbon credit market, often touted as a critical tool in the fight against climate change, has its share of challenges and controversies. While it is designed to incentivize emission reductions and support sustainability initiatives, several issues have plagued its effectiveness and integrity.

Climate disclosure regulations are setting the stage for a “trickle-down effect” that influences every industry and every stage of the supply chain.

Companies subject to climate regulation must select the appropriate carbon accounting protocol. Here are the two key protocols and how they align to major climate regulations.

COP29 marked the operationalization of Article 6.4 under the Paris Agreement, a significant step forward for global carbon markets. This framework establishes standardized methodologies for emissions reductions, boosting transparency and collaboration across borders. In this blog, we explore the implications of Article 6.4 on nations, corporations, and the voluntary carbon market, along with Coral’s strategic role in empowering businesses to navigate this transformative shift.

The 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) in Baku was a pivotal moment in the global climate conversation. This year’s event highlighted incremental progress in emissions reductions, the importance of clean energy investments, and the role of inclusivity in driving impactful climate solutions. Coral actively participated in key discussions, panels, and competitions, showcasing our innovative platform while contributing insights into transforming climate ambition into measurable action.
