The need to reverse the effects of climate change can clearly be seen across the Middle East and Africa. From increased desertification and dust storms that impact air quality, to dwindling freshwater supplies, rising temperatures and extreme weather events already affect quality of life and economic opportunities. Saudi Arabia is spearheading far-reaching, tailored action and is proud to play a key role in leading international collaborations for a more sustainable global future.
