Cities can enhance our future through urban greening, biodiversity conservation, and climate action. Planting trees and creating green spaces improve air quality, reduce urban heat, and promote well-being. Maintaining biodiversity ensures resilient ecosystems and sustains natural resources. Global climate efforts, including reducing emissions and adopting renewable energy, mitigate climate change. Riyadh exemplifies this with initiatives like the "Green Riyadh" project, aiming to plant millions of trees, enhance green spaces, and promote sustainable urban living.

Riyadh has a plan to cool the city (located in the middle of a desert). How? By investing in nature: 7,5 million trees, from 72 local species And also reusing more water: from 90.000 m³/day to 1 million m³/day.

I believe that we need to get aggressive about planting trees for shade in our urban and sub urban areas; to absorb carbon and to lower temperatures in our urban micro-climates. Few will deny that even on the hottest days here in the Caribbean it feels so much cooler in the shade. There’s no time like the present, that shade will become even more critical in the next 5-10 years. Let’s start planting more trees in our cities and towns!

Saudi Arabia is committed to growing 10B trees – one of three main targets under SGI. #Saudigreeninitiative #Cop28 Contributing to this, NCVC's Land Degradation Alleviation and Desertification Protection Project aims to increase vegetation cover and combat sand encroachment across the Kingdom. #GreenRiyadh #SGI #Biodeiversity #Renewable #Saudivision2030

Riyadh and Saudi in general are getting greener …. and cooler … likewise Aseer and Jazan regions

Absolutely, #water #management is a critical component of sustainable urban greening. Ensuring that water resources are used efficiently and sustainably, particularly in #arid regions, is essential for the #longterm success of such projects. By implementing practices like #zerodischarge of wastewater, cities can maximize the use of available water resources, supporting lush green spaces without compromising the water needs of the population. This integrated approach to greening and water management can indeed set a strong example for building biodiverse and ecologically sustainable urban environments.

This is sustainable and a brilliant green solution for reducing the heat index in our cities.

Incorporating nature-positive practices into our business strategy is not just beneficial for the environment, but it also drives innovation and enhances brand reputation. Companies can create long-term value by prioritizing sustainable resource management, reducing carbon footprints, and supporting biodiversity. Let’s work together to build a thriving business ecosystem that respects and nurtures our planet. #Sustainability #NaturePositive #EcoFriendly #GreenBusiness #CorporateResponsibility #Biodiversity

#Riyadh gets greener & grows stronger! A massive 1,350km water network project will irrigate 7.5 million new trees. This isn't just about the environment (though more trees are ), it's a jobs creator in construction & maintenance, boosts urban appeal, & improves air quality. #GreenJobs #SustainableCities #SaudiVision2030 Let's chat - how can your city leverage green initiatives for economic growth?

Riyadh’s initiative to plant trees and lay a comprehensive water network for irrigation is a commendable effort towards fostering a healthier and more sustainable urban environment. By investing in green spaces and ensuring their maintenance through an efficient water network, Riyadh is taking significant steps to improve air quality, enhance biodiversity, and provide its citizens with spaces that promote physical activity and mental well-being. This forward-thinking approach not only addresses environmental challenges but also demonstrates a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for current and future generations. Such initiatives set an inspiring example for other cities worldwide to prioritize green infrastructure and sustainable urban development. #GreenRiyadh #UrbanForestry #SustainableLiving #HealthyCities #EnvironmentalStewardship #GreenInitiative #EcoFriendly #SustainableDevelopment #UrbanGreenery #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #HealthyLifestyle
