His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Deputy Prime Minister, inaugurated today in the capital Riyadh the work of the \u00abGreen Middle East Initiative\u00bb summit, with the participation of a large international delegation led by heads of state and decision-makers from around the world, to chart a regional roadmap for preserving and improving the quality of life, as a Saudi initiative to make a global difference in preserving nature, humans, and animals and facing the challenges of climate change.
At the beginning of the summit proceedings, His Highness the Crown Prince delivered the following speech:
His Highnesses, Excellencies and the State,
Dear attendees,
Peace be upon you, and may God's mercy and blessings be upon you,
We welcome you today in your second country, Saudi Arabia, at the first summit of the Green Middle East Initiative.
We are meeting today at this summit to coordinate efforts towards protecting the environment and addressing climate change, and to set a roadmap for reducing carbon emissions in the region by more than (10%) of the global contributions.
Planting (50) billion trees in the region in accordance with a program that is considered the largest tree-planting programs in the world, contributing to achieving (5%) percent of the global target for afforestation.
Today at this summit, we aim to work together to develop a regional roadmap and a working methodology to enable the achievement of these ambitious goals.
Dear attendees,
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia believes that traditional energy sources were the most important reasons for the transformation of the countries of the region and the world from traditional economies into globally active economies, and the main driver and impetus for the fastest economic growth ever known to humanity.
Today we are inaugurating a new green era for the region, leading it and reaping its fruits together, believing that the effects of climate change are not limited to the natural environment alone, but also include the economy and security.
However, we recognize that climate change is an economic opportunity for individuals and the private sector, which the Green Middle East Initiative will stimulate, to create quality jobs and promote innovation in the region.
Dear attendees
There are gaps in the climate action system in the region, and through coordinating regional efforts and sharing expertise and technologies, we can achieve rapid progress in our initiatives.
To enable this, the Kingdom announces that it will work to establish a cooperation platform to implement the concept of the circular carbon economy, establish a regional center for climate change, establish a regional complex for the extraction, use, and storage of carbon, establish a regional center for early warning of storms, establish a regional center for sustainable development of the fishery sector, and establish a regional program for the purification of clouds. These centers and programs will play a major role in creating the infrastructure necessary to protect the environment, reduce emissions, and enhance regional coordination.
As a continuation of the Kingdom\u2019s pioneering role in developing energy markets, we will work to establish a fund to invest in carbon-cycle economy technology solutions in the region, and a global initiative that contributes to providing clean fuel solutions to provide food for more than (750) million people worldwide. The total investment in these two initiatives amounts to approximately (39) billion riyals, and the Kingdom will contribute to financing approximately (15%) of them. The Kingdom will work with regional and international development funds and countries to explore ways to finance and implement these initiatives.
In order to enhance coordination, we announce the establishment of the Green Initiative Foundation as a non-profit organization to support the work of the summit.
In conclusion, facing climate change requires us to work together to develop technologies, create the appropriate environment to finance them, preserve the natural resources of our region, and strengthen cooperation among us for that purpose.
And I now invite the brothers and sisters to participate in the work of the summit and to deliver their speeches, wishing our work success.
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
