Abstract

Purpose - Bahrain has set a national target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, with an interim goal of a 30% reduction in CO2e emissions by 2035. The aim of this policy brief is to provide insights on how carbon neutrality in Bahrain can be achieved. Design/methodology/approach - A review of literature related to climate change mitigation in general, and that related to Bahrain in particular, was carried out. Findings - Given that the carbon intensity of Bahrain's economy is relatively high, achieving carbon neutrality requires not only technologies for reducing CO2e emissions at the source and enhanced carbon sinks, but it also requires the introduction of a circular economy culture and efforts to foster pro-environmental behavior within the population. The involvement of different stakeholders in the journey toward carbon neutrality is critical, along with the formulation of requisite policies regulating the roles of technology, behavior and research. Originality/value - Pathways to achieve carbon neutrality in Bahrain were explored, and areas for policy focus were recommended.
