Al-Jubeir: Saudi Arabia has taken important steps in dealing with the issue of climate change

Weather of Arabia - Saudi Arabia’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Climate Affairs Envoy, Mr. Adel Al-Jubeir, said that the Kingdom has taken many steps and made major transformations towards the issue of climate change.

Al-Jubeir added, in the first session of the “Bold Visions” series within the “Saudi House” initiative in the “NEOM” pavilion at the Davos Economic Forum, that there must be concerted efforts and teamwork, and consideration of what can be achieved and what cannot be achieved. Otherwise, there will be a lot of problems. Hypocrisy in addressing the issue of climate change.

He continued: Unfortunately, we see this a lot. We saw it in COP 27 and we also saw it in COP 28, and some claim that we are waging an economic war against them and shrinking the global economy, this is hypocrisy.

He added that Saudi Arabia is working to address the issue through an intensive and combined approach, in which all segments of society participate, and which is based on scientific experiments. Al-Jubeir confirmed that the Kingdom has launched initiatives worth about $180 billion, which is a very large number compared to the size of its economy.

More than 2,800 people, including more than 60 heads of state and government, participate in the forum. The forum’s agenda includes topics ranging from geopolitical turmoil, to obstacles to the growth of the global economy, to the prospects and risks of artificial intelligence, and climate change.
