Since becoming the UAE’s Minister of Climate Change and Environment in January 2024, Al Dahak has overseen initiatives spanning climate accountability, circular economy development and food security. In October 2025, the ministry launched the National Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) System, reducing the time required to prepare emissions inventories from 15 months to three. It also introduced Tahweel, a national digital marketplace for recyclable materials, in 2025, followed by the implementation of the next phase of the federal ban on specified single-use plastics in January 2026. As chair of the National Agriculture Centre, Al Dahak launched the Sustainable Product initiative in January 2026, aiming to increase the share of locally sourced agricultural and animal products used by UAE hotels and restaurants to 25%. Internationally, she has represented the UAE at major climate and environmental forums, including COP meetings, the UN General Assembly, G20, and BRICS engagements.
