Overview

The Saudi Green Initiative aims to improve quality of life and protect future generations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With the launch of the Saudi Green Initiative, the Kingdom has reaffirmed its belief in a sustainable future for all. The first wave of more than 60 initiatives announced under SGI—and unveiled at the October 2021 Saudi Green Initiative Forum—represent over SAR 700 billion investment to contribute to the growth of the green economy.Saudi Arabia is playing a key role in global efforts:Global Ocean AllianceProtect at least 30% of the global ocean in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) by 2030.UN Sports for Climate Action InitiativeContribute to UNFCCC climate action by supporting and guiding sports actors in achieving global climate change goals and displaying climate leadership.Global Methane PledgeCut global methane emissions by 30% by 2030 through the six-sector solution proposed by UNEP.SGI brings together environmental protection, energy transformation and sustainability programs to work towards three overarching targets to achieve a common goal of a green future: Reducing emissions, Greening Saudi, and Protecting land and sea.Since the launch of Vision 2030 in 2016, the Kingdom has taken significant steps to scale up its climate action and environmental protection. Under the patronage of HRH Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi Green Initiative now takes efforts to the next level by unifying all sustainability efforts in the Kingdom to increase reliance on clean energy, offset the impact of fossil fuels and combat climate change. In a whole-of-society approach, SGI works with entities and organizations across the Kingdom to amplify their existing climate actions and create opportunities for new initiatives. SGI also bridges the gap between public and private sustainability efforts, identifying opportunities for collaboration and innovation. SGI oversees all of Saudi Arabia’s work to combat climate change, working collaboratively with government ministries, private sector entities, and foreign governments to bring together environmental efforts and rapidly scale climate action.This dataset lists all initiatives under Saudi Green Initiative (SGI) three main targets. Additionally, it includes other Initiatives with significant indirect contribution to the Saudi Green Initiative targets advancing the Kingdom’s green transformation.
