Aligning Policy, Finance & Climate to Accelerate the EV Transition

Vision: EVs are central to climate strategy, cutting emissions and improving air quality.
Dubai’s clean-energy programs have already reduced 236,000+ tonnes of CO₂, solidifying
the city’s global leadership.
Scope: Lifecycle sustainability from clean-grid charging to battery end-of-life, aligned with
the UAE Clean Energy Strategy 2050, RTA’s Net-Zero Public Transport Vision, and postCOP28 commitments.
Audience Fit: Regulators, sustainability officers, urban planners.
Why this matters now: Cities are racing toward 2030 net-zero; inaction risks higher
emissions, stranded assets, and loss of investor confidence.

Vision: Adoption scales when the economics work; falling battery costs and broader model
choice make EVs increasingly cost-competitive.
Scope: TCO, fleet ROI, carbon pricing, ESG reporting, EV-as-a-Service (EaaS), Battery-as-aService (BaaS), and Transport-as-a-Service (TaaS) for municipalities.
Audience Fit: Investors, fleet managers, government operators.
Why this matters now: By 2030, fleet electrification could save GCC operators billions in
fuel costs (according to industry estimates) while satisfying ESG requirements.

Vision: Policy is the catalyst: the UAE targets 50% EV adoption by 2050; Dubai mandates
30% electric/hybrid government fleets by 2030.
Scope: Comparative benchmarking of MENA vs. EU/China/North America policy trajectories;
procurement mandates; charging standards; urban-planning regulations.
Audience Fit: Regulators, infrastructure agencies, policy think tanks..
Why this matters now: Without clear policy, infrastructure gaps stall adoption; regional
cooperation and regulatory innovation are essential.

Vision: The transition must be sustainable end-to-end.
Scope: Battery recycling, second-life applications, rare-earth recovery, EV refurbishing;
aligned with Operation 300bn and COP28 Resource Circularity initiatives.
Audience Fit: Regulators, innovators, investors shaping resilient supply chains.
Why this matters now: By 2035, EV demand could 10× lithium/rare-earth needs; circular
systems avert resource bottlenecks.

Vision: Sustainable transport requires sustainable finance.
Scope: Sovereign wealth funds, DFIs, insurers, banks; green bonds, PPPs, blended finance,
carbon-linked instruments.
Audience Fit: Financial sponsors, institutional investors, policy banks.
Proof or Alignment: GCC pipeline spotlight; term-sheet templates for charging PPPs.
Why this matters now: The GCC has $40B+ in sustainable transport investments; strategic
financing determines leadership
