The Global Call for Action
In these unprecedented times, the world bears witness to the devastating effects of climate change and the urgent need for immediate action. The alarming acceleration of polar ice melting in the Northern Hemisphere, coupled with the loss of the Greenland ice sheet, has led to a rise in sea levels by a colossal 1.2 centimeters. This environmental crisis presents an imminent call to action.
A Collaborative Initiative: MENA Climate Week 2023
In response to this global catastrophe, all sectors worldwide are aligning their efforts towards sustainable solutions for environmental preservation and the prosperity of future generations. The MENA Climate Week 2023, an initiative jointly launched by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Sustainable Tourism Global Center (STGC), and the United Nations, represents one such effort.
