Championing climate action at home and abroad

Since the launch of Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia has made tremendous progress in addressing its unique environmental challenges, but there is much more to be done. As a leading global energy producer, Saudi Arabia fully recognizes its share of responsibility in advancing the global fight against the climate crisis. With its ambitious plans and targets, the Saudi Green Initiative is a leap forward within our ambition to become a global leader in forging a greener future.

The Saudi Green Initiative and Middle East Green Initiative are a continuation of environmental efforts that have taken place since the launch of Vision 2030 in 2016 to address the environmental challenges Saudi Arabia faces.

We have already raised the percentage of natural reserves from 4% to more than 14%, and increased vegetation cover by 40% in the past 4 years.

This is a long-term plan to protect the planet. Our targets span the next two decades, and we will be establishing a foundation to oversee delivery of the initiatives under the Saudi Green Initiative and the Middle East Green Initiative.

The Saudi Green Initiative is a national initiative under the patronage of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. To support its ambitions and targets, the initiative will draw on the expertise and resources of multiple Saudi ministries and private sector partners.

A detailed roadmap that outlines how we will deliver against the ambitious targets for the Saudi Green Initiative will be published in the coming months.
