Saudi Arabia’s approach to enviromental policy eflects the complexities of transitioning from a resource-dependent economy to a sustainable future. As a nation built on oil wealth, the challenge is as much societal as economic.
While critics may focus on the pace of change, younger Saudis - shaped by Vision 2030’s ambitions - are increasingly attuned to the realities of climate change and the need for innovation.
Projects such as the Al Henakiyah solar plant, set to become one of the largest globally, underscore the Kingdom’s potential to lead in renewable energy - although it is fair to say that the export market for solar power is in its infancy, requiring an intricate network of transnational and even transcontinental cabling.
So the coming years will reveal how effectively Saudi Arabia can navigate the delicate balance between preserving its economic foundation and embracing a greener, more sustainable future.
