Saudi Arabia Green Initiative

Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia launched the Saudi Green Initiative, which will plant 10 Billion Tree in the Country over the coming Decades. The Environmental Initiative will multiply the area of Saudi Arabia, covered by Trees by a facture of 12, equivalent to Rehabilitating 40 Million hectares of Degraded Land.

The Saudi Green Initiative will not only Increase Vegetation cover and Fight Desertification, it will also focus on Reducing Carbom Emissions, Combatting Pollution, and the Protection and Repopulating of Wildlife.

Saudi Arabia has also unveiled a Middle East Green Initiative that will see the planting of an Additional 40 Billion Trees across the Region. This International effort to Restore an area equivalent to 200 Million hectares of Degraded Land is the World's Largest Reforestation Program, projected to Reduce Global Carbon Levels by 2.5%

By sharing Best Practices, Stimulating Investment, and Tracking Progress toward Targets, the Middle East Green Initiative also aims to Reduce Carbon Emmissions from Hydrocarbon Production in the Region by more than 60%.

Saudi Arabia is already ramping up Projects, particularly in Solar and Wind. It is also implementing Energy Efficiency Programs, Investing in Low-Carbon Public Transportation, such as High-Speed Rail Lines, and Developing Cutting-Edge Technologies including Carbon Capture and Green Hydrogen production. By 2030, at least 50% of the Country's Energy mix will be drawn from Renewables.

This Month, they will host The Saudi Green Initiative Forum, where it will unveil its Roadmap for meeting its Climste Targets and Tracking its Performance in the Fight against Climate Change. The Forum will be followed by the Middle East Green Initiative Summit, where International and Regional Leaders will Collaborate on Climate Change Solutions, working to ensure a Sustainable Future for All. A Youth Green Summit will also be held to help Incubate the Next Generation of Leadership in Environmental Stewardship.

As part of the Saudi Green Initiative's formidable Environmental Commitment, more than 30% of the Total Territory of the Kingdom will be designated as Protective Areas. This also includes a Focus on the Country's Biodiverse Coastal Regions and its dazzling Coral Reefs, which are Threatened by the Rise in Sea Temperatures caused by Climate Change.

Saudi Arabia is Accelerating its efforts to Preserve its Unique Ecosystems both on Land and in the Sea. Over the past Four years, the percentage of the Kingdom's Protected Natural Reserves has Increased from 4% to more than 16%, and 75 additional Land, Costal, and Marine, Areas are proposed for further Protection. In 2020, the Country planted more than 2 Million Mangrove Trees along Thousands of Miles of Coastline. Mangrove Forests are rich Carbon Sinks and serve as a Nursery for many Marine Animals.

New Populations of Deseert Animals such as: Gazelle, Oryx, and Ostrich, are being carefully Reintroduced to their Native Saudi Environment.

To support these Rewilding efforts, Saudi Arabia will Increase the size of its New Force of Special Environmental Guards by almost Tenfold over the next Four years.

There are also plans to Reintroduce Animals such as the Arabian Leopard, currently Extinct, back into its Ancestral Home, instilling Reverence for the Past and sowing Hope for our Collective Future.
