The United Nations has praised Saudi Arabia’s climate action measures after the Kingdom formally filed its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) emissions promise.
HRH Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Al Saud had previously stated that Saudi Arabia aspires to attain net-zero emissions by 2060 by implementing the Carbon Circular Economy strategy.
Speaking at the Saudi Green Initiative Forum in Riyadh, the Executive Secretary to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Patricia Espinosa, said: “This is certainly the kind of leadership that the world needs, precisely at this time.”
“I want to commend His Royal Highness and the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the bold and courageous decisions that sent a powerful signal.”
“Just a few months ago, I had the privilege of having a conversation with His Royal Highness and asked him to consider presenting a Nationally Determined Contribution.”
“The importance of the Nationally Determined Contributions is that they are the instrument under the Paris Agreement that allow us to assess how the world is moving forward in addressing the big challenge of climate change.”
“As His Royal Highness was saying, this is the greatest challenge for humanity. The existence of humanity in this planet is at risk because of climate change, so the announcement today is really a very, very powerful signal at the right moment and I’m very grateful for that.”
The Saudi Green Initiative Forum rallies the climate action ecosystem to achieve ambitious national targets.
