RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has stressed the necessity of regional and global collaboration to address environmental issues, specifically in restoring degraded areas and increasing drought resistance. The Saudi Press Agency said that during the 26th GCC meeting on environmental affairs in Qatar, Deputy Environment Minister Mansour Al-Mushaiti emphasised these points.
Al-Mushaiti called on the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations to adopt the Middle East Green Initiative charter and establish national goals for reforestation and tree planting. Additionally, he demanded that national development funds from the GCC provide more funding for vegetation projects. According to Al-Mushaiti, regional environmental initiatives and sustainable development have advanced as a result of GCC meetings.
He emphasised the significance of tackling climate change, environmental protection, and striking a balance between resource preservation and development. Al-Mushaiti expressed optimism that the December hosting of COP16 by Saudi Arabia would have a major effect on international efforts to combat drought and land degradation. All GCC nations, as well as global and regional organisations, the commercial sector, and civil society, were urged to actively participate.
