High-level forum on green economy set

A high-level international forum on ‘green economy’ will be held in the Kingdom on Tuesday.

‘2019 MENA Regional High-Level Forum on Green Economy’ is being held by the World Green Economy Organisation in collaboration with the Supreme Council for Environment and the United Nations.

The event will be held over three days with the participation of high-level government representatives and environmentalists from many countries. 

“The main purpose of the Regional Ministerial Conference on Green Economy is to create an open and conducive knowledge sharing setting aimed to support the participants in further improving their understanding on the trends and opportunities on the way towards advancing Green Economy agenda in the MENA Region,” organizers said.

“The Regional Ministerial Conference also aims to serve as a strategic networking opportunity for all green economy champions and actors active in the MENA Region as well as a platform for matching capacities of the solution providers with the needs of the solution seekers, which will potentially lead to practical exchanges of green economy solutions and experiences in the region.”  “A clear priority for many developed and developing economies is the need for innovation, productivity, and secure jobs. While different stakeholders might have varying needs, there is an overall need for higher productivity and efficiency, stronger resilience and innovation,” the organizers pointed out.
