A Saudi company has launched a new carbon exchange platform at COP29, aiming to support global emission reduction efforts and accelerate the shift toward more sustainable practices. This platform allows businesses and governments to trade carbon credits, providing an incentive for companies to reduce their carbon footprint by offering a marketplace where they can buy and sell emission offsets.
The initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia's broader sustainability goals and commitments under its Vision 2030 plan, which includes significant investments in green technologies and renewable energy. The carbon exchange platform seeks to foster regional and international collaboration on carbon reduction and climate action, positioning Saudi Arabia as a key player in the global carbon market. By facilitating the trade of carbon credits, the platform offers companies a pathway to meet regulatory requirements and support projects that contribute to lowering overall greenhouse gas emissions.
This development at COP29 is expected to promote transparency and accountability in emissions reporting and drive progress toward achieving net-zero goals.
