Azerbaijan's Report News Agency and Prince Sultan University's Center for Sustainability and Climate (CSC) (Saudi Arabia) are expanding cooperation within the memorandum signed this year, Report informs.
The joint work ahead of the conferences of the parties to the three Rio Conventions—on Biodiversity, Climate Change and Desertification, which are being held this year, covers several key areas: conducting thematic studies on sustainable development goals, preparing joint reports on climate achievements in the Middle East and North Africa, developing environmental education, and forming new partnerships.
In an interview with BakuTV, the founder of the Center for Sustainability and Climate, Professor Mohammad Nurunnabi, who oversees the Saudi green initiative, shared details of the partnership and discussed the Center's strategic role in implementing climate programs.
"In cooperation with Report, we organized several events on the theme 'In Solidarity for a Green World,' as stated in the COP29 motto. Through this partnership, we are delving deeper into sustainability and climate issues within the cooperation between Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia. Our initiatives include conferences, webinars, and other events aimed at promoting climate action," he noted.
According to Nurunnabi, the Middle East Green Initiative and 77 projects under the Saudi Green Initiative are integral parts of efforts to combat climate change.
"Cooperation between Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, and other countries is crucial in achieving sustainable development for the planet. I believe that through these platforms, we can achieve significant changes. The experience of participating in the conference in Azerbaijan was incredibly valuable. The people, city, and country are wonderful. It is a great honor for me to participate in COP29 - an event that will become a landmark for the country's and region's contribution to sustainable development and fighting climate change," the head of the center added.
