Abstract
The present approach to climate change issues are mostly with an environmental and scientific approach which is not grasping the industrialists and economists attention, I will be highlighting the economical disadvantages of climate change and advantages to re-modification solutions, and how to utilize the latest studies & technologies and the benefits of circular economy. If we continue on the current path, we will not meet the Global goals. To help drive the economic growth we must boost the benchmarking competitiveness, it will actually drive reform. We have to find ways to scale up corporate engagement in a situation where 60% of businesses worldwide that are not engaged become stakeholders. Our challenge now is to mobilize action that will bring the different agendas meaningfully and tangibly to life. I call on Governments and stakeholders to recognize the gaps identified in the UNEP and SDG reports - in implementation, financing and politics- to now join hands to fulfill this vision and keep the united promise. Since K.S.A. is the largest most dominant country in the middle east I will show case the third national communication of Saudi Arabia on climate change and their vision 2030 KPI’s, as well as the latest projects using environmentally sustainable technologies and methods to be more effective and efficient as well as diverting to renewable energy and water reuse.
