السعودية والأرض الخضراء

Saudi Arabia shares with the international community and its various organizations the fight against desertification and drought. The Ministry of Environment has made a notable presence in all forums, meetings, and conferences concerned with the green earth, the latest of which was its presidency of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification “UNCCD COP16,” where it emphasized the importance of enhancing integration between national plans and international efforts to combat drought, through partnerships that focus on supporting readiness, empowering communities, and expanding forecasting and rapid response tools, reflecting a collective commitment to face this global challenge.

The Kingdom's directions are based on Vision 2030, which establishes a vibrant society, a green future, and quality of life, by integrating drought preparedness measures into national plans.

Since the launch of the vision, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has taken significant steps to build a more sustainable future, and the Saudi Green Initiative continues to work on enhancing efforts to protect the environment and accelerate the energy transition and sustainability programs to achieve its comprehensive goals in carbon offsetting and reduction, increasing afforestation efforts, land reclamation, and protecting terrestrial and marine areas in the Kingdom.
