Climate ministers from Gulf Cooperation Council countries have restated their commitment to the Paris Agreement during the Middle East and North Africa Climate Week.

The Paris Agreement, established in 2015 is an international treaty addressing climate change and its impacts. Among other things, the charter aims to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

During the climate week, the ministers thanked the Kingdom for hosting Climate Week and added that the upcoming COP28 will focus primarily on responsible energy transition, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

They also called for increased investment in renewable methods, highlighting the importance of using green hydrogen, carbon capture, storage and reuse, and nature-based decarbonization solutions.

The panel emphasized the crucial role of youth in the MENA region in leading their efforts to confront climate change.

In their separate address, the ministers noted that cooperation between countries is needed to combat the negative impacts of environmental declines, adding that the Saudi Green Initiative and the wider Middle East Green Initiatives will spearhead the energy transition journey.
