Speaking at Cop28 as a sustainable development specialist, Saudi Princesses Noura bint Turki Al Saud has stated that everyone’s agenda should prioritize addressing climate change.
Co-founders of Aeon, a Riyadh-based sustainable development advising organization that specializes in project management and strategy and policy formulation, are Princess Noura and Princess Mashael Saud Al Shalan.
The princesses discussed how Saudis are attempting to address environmental concerns, with youth playing a significant part, in an exclusive conversation with The National.
Princess Noura, a prominent player in the kingdom’s sustainability movement and a member of the International Energy Agency’s advisory board, is scheduled to give a speech at Cop28, an intergovernmental organization that begins in Dubai on Thursday.
Princess Noura thinks change is possible, but that everyone must participate in order to reduce global temperature increases to 1.5°C over pre-industrial levels, despite the difficult task facing the UN climate change summit in Expo City Dubai.
According to Princess Noura, the core of Cop28 is interacting with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
The summit is essential for “having conversations with people from across the globe from the policy side and from the civil society and building bridges from a diplomatic aspect,” the speaker stated.
