The Saudi pavilion at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference (COP28) which began its activities in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on Saturday, hosted three sessions covering the widespread application of super-efficient cooling devices, the importance and role of the bio-future, as well as biodiversity, climate, and one health.
In the first session titled "The widespread application of super-efficient cooling devices and their efficiency," the Director General of the Saudi Energy Efficiency Center showcased the Kingdom’s efforts in this field. The second session titled "Protecting Our Planet: Biodiversity, Climate, and One Health" witnessed active participation of experts and stakeholders in this field, shedding light on some current programs to preserve the natural and biological environment in the Kingdom.
During the third session titled "Bio-Future: Future Fuels Accelerator," participants discussed the importance of bio-future and its role, as well as bio future-related programs being implemented by a number of countries.
Through its extensive participation, the Kingdom aims to enhance cooperation to implement comprehensive solutions to climate change, ensure that the policies discussed at the conference meet the world's need to adapt to climate change and enhance economic prosperity, while maintaining global energy security.
The Kingdom's participation in the Conference comes after the success of the Climate Week in the Middle East and North Africa region, held in Riyadh last October.
Throughout the Conference, the Kingdom is hosting 25 accompanying events in its pavilion in the Blue Zone, including four events under the umbrella of Clean Energy Ministerial and Mission Innovation, in addition to accompanying events in the Green Zone at the Saudi Green Initiative exhibition, covering topics related to climate change.
The Kingdom adopts an approach that links energy security with sustainable growth and prosperity, and addresses climate change, considering each country's national circumstances as part of its energy-related policies and strategies.
