It is a story of success and inspiration, as the Kingdom’s youth are working hard to build a green and sustainable future that carries a rich heritage and traditions and a proactive vision, as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has witnessed tremendous developments in the field of environment and sustainability in recent years, and this is thanks to the directives of the wise leadership and its ambitious Vision 2030 , but the decisive role comes Of the nation’s youth, who constitute the nucleus of hope and positive change, and one of the most prominent initiatives that reflect the dedication and determination of Saudi youth to build a better future are environmental and sustainability projects. Such projects come in the context of the shift towards a green economy and reducing carbon emissions, and ensure for these young people that their projects are compatible with... Sustainable development goals, meeting the needs of the current and next generations.
The Green Summit Initiative in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced the special allocation for youth as part of its efforts to build a global alliance to support the planet and promote initiatives that positively impact the future of humanity in general. It considers youth as one of the cornerstones of achieving this goal, by exploiting the best technologies and noble meanings.
The Saudi Minister of Energy, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, pointed out the Kingdom’s aspiration to become a leader in the field of hydrogen, as it plans to produce and export large quantities of hydrogen by 2030. This step coincides with the holding of the “COP26” climate conference in Glasgow, where the Kingdom is committed to achieving “Zero” carbon emissions before 2060 .
Starting in 2016 and the launch of Vision 2030, we witnessed many tireless efforts made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to build a more sustainable future and care for protecting the environment. In 2021, the Saudi Green Initiative combined these efforts and made it a center for achieving its comprehensive goals. This initiative is based on achieving compensation. Reducing carbon emissions, increasing the use of clean energy, and combating climate change, which represents a major step towards achieving the goals of sustainability and environmental preservation.
Under one umbrella and with a clear and common goal, the Saudi Green Initiative supervises all of the Kingdom’s efforts to combat climate change. These efforts include:
The Green Middle East Initiative is a regional effort led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to address the effects of climate change on the Middle East region, and to achieve the goals of global climate action together, by enhancing regional cooperation and developing infrastructure to reduce emissions and protect the environment.

By adopting the principle of priority of land and its protection, this initiative works to achieve a positive impact that goes beyond the field of the environment, and contributes to the creation of significant economic opportunities and thanks to the sustainable development adopted by the initiative, it can help promote economic diversification, create job opportunities, and enhance private sector investments in the entire region, and thus, It works to achieve benefits for future generations, and opens promising horizons towards a green and sustainable future.
Rising temperatures have had a negative impact on livelihoods and job opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa regions to a large extent, and if global temperatures continue to rise in this manner, the repercussions of extreme climate conditions in the region are expected to increase, such as drought and heavy rains, as the economic cost of storms is estimated. Land alone generates more than $13 billion annually in this region. To ensure effective climate action, an alliance must be formed that brings together and supports all stakeholders in the region. The Green Middle East Initiative aims to unite the efforts of the region’s leaders to achieve the common goal of combating climate change.
These initiatives reflect the dedication and sustainability vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and point to the role of youth in achieving change and actively contributing to preserving the environment and improving the future of the planet. Moreover, Saudi youth contribute to raising awareness of environmental and sustainability issues through awareness activities and social initiatives as they use social media.
