What environmental initiative, launched in 2021 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aims to plant 10 billion trees across Saudi Arabia and reduce carbon emissions by over 278 million tons annually?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Saudi Green Initiative (SGI)
- Step 1: Review national sustainability frameworks: The Saudi Green Initiative (SGI) sets overarching environmental goals for the Kingdom.
- Step 2: Key targets include planting 10 billion trees, rehabilitating 40 million hectares of degraded lands, protecting 30% of terrestrial and marine areas, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2060.
Answer
Saudi Green Initiative (SGI).
Why not the others: 'Clean Energy Arabian Compact' and 'Vision 2030 Forestation Pact' are fictitious program titles; 'Desert Bloom' is an unrelated historical project term.
