Through large-scale projects in NEOM, Riyadh, and other cities throughout the Kingdom, Saudi Arabia is establishing guiding principles for sustainability.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, “sustainability” refers to all actions that people take—direct or indirect—to preserve the environment and secure their continued existence. Given that humans rely on the environment and its natural resources for survival, this idea is crucial.
According to the Sustainable Development Commission, the idea of sustainable development gained widespread recognition after 1972, when the UN highlighted it during a meeting on the human environment in Stockholm.
According to an essay by economist and management consultant Talal Rafi on the website of the sector Economic Forum, only about half of executives in the business sector actually implement strategies that include sustainable goals, despite the fact that most of them recognize the importance of sustainability.
Saudi Arabia is one of the nations making steps toward a more prosperous society, and unlike the business world, many other countries are publicizing their objectives for sustaining sustainability.
People in Saudi Arabia weren’t previously as concerned with sustainability as they are now because of the country’s severe environment. In Saudi Arabia, the weather is typically dry and warm, which makes developing sustainable projects difficult.
However, the Kingdom has adopted a new strategy for promoting sustainability with the help of Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s Vision 2030, which in turn improves the standard of living in the nation.
“Saudi Arabia is not only focusing on sustainability, but it has also embraced the concept of ‘Race to Zero’ as part of its Vision 2030 plan, aiming to reduce its carbon emissions and promote investment in renewable energy and the green economy,” said Dr. Mohammad Al-Surf, a senior advisor for sustainability and climate action at Jacobs.
