London Reporting Academy·Disclosure guides
Expert-written answers to the questions that slow reporting teams down. Each one opens with the conclusion, shows the requirement it rests on, explains the conditions and the judgement involved, and links to the disclosure cards the decision affects.
✓ LRA AI Assistant · Human-in-the-loop
The assistant answers from reviewed LRA content, names the missing fact instead of inventing one, and points you to the guide or disclosure card the decision lands on. Your first two answers are free without signing in.

UAE·Decision guide·Metrics and methodologies
Start by defining what the verifier is being engaged to verify. Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024 does not itself state that every Source must appoint an external verifier: Article 6 places verification of data accuracy and compliance with the Ministry or competent authority.

There is no single 0.5 million tCO2e threshold that determines whether the UAE Climate Law applies. Three questions must be separated.

UAE·Decision guide·Metrics and methodologies
A quarrying or construction-materials inventory should be built around the actual extraction-to-product chain. Typical sources include diesel used by drills, excavators, loaders, haul trucks and generators; electricity used by crushers, screens, conveyors and batching plants; refrigerants; contractor equipment; and process emissions where the operation actually includes calcination or another GHG-generating transformation.
Helps you decideWhich extraction, mobile, fixed-plant, contractor, purchased-energy, fugitive and process sources belong to the designated reporting perimeter.

UAE·Comparison·Metrics and methodologies
Use the authority's accepted criteria first. Where those criteria are not yet clear, either GHG Protocol or ISO 14064-1 can support a robust provisional inventory, provided the method choice, boundary, factors, estimates, evidence and gaps are documented.
Helps you decideWhich method will structure the provisional inventory, which elements must remain configurable, and what evidence is needed for authority and verifier review.

UAE·Explainer·Metrics and methodologies
Do not infer a filing deadline from the law's effective date, the 30 May 2026 Article 18 adjustment date, the annual national data-analysis cycle or a portal used in another jurisdiction. For each Source or facility, obtain a dated written basis confirming the competent authority, designation, reporting period, frequency, deadline and time zone, portal, account and identifiers, current form version, attachments, verification requirement, correction route and evidence of successful submission.

UAE·Explainer·Metrics and methodologies
Start with any emission factor, GWP set and calculation basis expressly prescribed by MOCCAE or the relevant competent authority. Where the authority permits choice, prefer UAE-, emirate-, utility-, fuel- or technology-specific data that match the activity, reporting year and unit basis.

UAE·Decision guide·Metrics and methodologies
“Scope 1” is a useful GHG Protocol label for direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the reporting organisation, but it is not a term defined by Federal Decree-Law No. (11) of 2024. For UAE Climate Law readiness, first identify the designated Source or facility and the competent authority’s required perimeter.
Helps you decideIdentify all direct emission sources within the approved perimeter and select a traceable calculation or measurement route for each.

UAE·Explainer·Metrics and methodologies
A defensible UAE Climate Law gap assessment compares a dated, route-specific requirements matrix with operating evidence - not only with the current sustainability report. Score maturity separately across legal status, boundary and source mapping, data and evidence, methods and factors, internal controls, verifier readiness, reduction/adaptation plans, and registry/filing governance.

UAE·Explainer·Metrics and methodologies
The most damaging UAE climate-law mistakes are usually classification and evidence errors: treating broad legal scope as a universal filing instruction, using the 0.5 Mt carbon-register threshold or Abu Dhabi 25,000 tCO2e threshold for the wrong route, omitting facilities or emission sources, using unsupported factors, hiding estimates, netting offsets from gross emissions, retaining calculations without source evidence, engaging verification too late and making unqualified “compliant” or “verified” claims. The fix is a route-specific requirements register, complete source map, controlled methods, original evidence, independent review, correction and retest.

How an LRA guide is built
You should be able to stop reading after the first paragraph and still have what you came for. Everything below it exists so you can defend the answer to a reviewer.
The question is stated as a reporting team would ask it, and settled in the opening lines.
The official source and edition are named, and kept clearly apart from our reading of them.
The points the standard leaves open are marked, with what a defensible position looks like.
The answer links to the disclosures and evidence it affects, so a decision turns into fields to fill.
Coverage
The guides tier is written framework by framework rather than thinly across all of them, so this says where the writing has actually reached. Disclosure cards, which cover the requirements themselves, run ahead of it.

An answer settles what to do. The disclosure card is where it becomes data to collect, owners to name, evidence to retain and wording to draft — and when the whole reporting cycle is the problem, the programme walks it with a mentor on your own data.
