– His Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah’s Representative, His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah affirmed Kuwait’s keenness to adopt a national low carbon strategy until 2050.<\/P>
During his speech at the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2021 (COP26) in Glasgow, United Kingdom, the Amir’s Representative said that the national strategy is based on a circular carbon economy to promote the reduction, disposal, reuse and recycling of greenhouse gases.<\/P>
The strategy will be supported by the enactment of relevant legislation and laws to reduce emissions and adapt to their negative effects at the national level, in line with local, regional and international environmental obligations, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled added.<\/P>
Furthermore, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled added that the climate change is one of the serious challenges facing the international community in this time, and combating it has become a priority for all countries.<\/P>
“The State of Kuwait, in compliance with Paris Climate Agreement, updated its contributions document on October 12, 2021, whereby Kuwait contributes to a package of development projects based on a vision that would avoid an increase in greenhouse gases equivalent to 7.4 percent of its total emissions until 2035,” said Kuwait’s prime minister.<\/P>
Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled said that Kuwait attaches great importance to diversifying the country’s energy sources by introducing renewable energies and replacing fossil fuels with liquefied gas to ensure the sustainability of energy supplies for future generations.<\/P>
Moreover, he noted that Kuwait has distinguished regional and international contributions to the preservation of the environment and natural resources in the world. The Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development has mitigated the environmental repercussions resulting from the receding of the Aral Sea in Central Asia and Lake Korley in Ghana and the reduction of radiations resulting from the explosion of the Chernobyl reactor, he added.<\/P>
Recently, the Kuwait Development Fund contributed to implementing a project to reduce the dust, sand storms, and cross-border dust between Kuwait and Iraq, with the aim of reducing approximately 40 percent of the chances of their occurrence, said Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled.<\/P>
