The CEO of the King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority, Eng. Maher bin Abdullah Al-Gothmi, described Saudi Green Initiative Day as a celebration of Saudi Arabia's achievements in the field of climate action and addressing various environmental challenges.
Al-Gothmi added that the event, which falls on March 27, is an opportunity to unify the efforts of Saudi society members and activate their role in building a sustainable future, the Saudi Press Agency said on Thursday.
"Thank God and under the guidance and follow-up of Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif, the chairman of the board of directors of the King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve Development Authority, has succeeded in aligning its projects, initiatives, and outputs with the targets of the Saudi Green Initiative since its launch by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on March 27, 2021”, said Al-Gothmi.
This was achieved through integrated partnerships with government entities, the private sector, non-profit third-sector organizations, and particularly voluntary environmental associations, to ensure their sustainability for the current and future generations, he said.
The King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve is one of the seven reserves established by a royal decree. It is a member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and has an independent authority led by Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz.

Britain's roads and railways were hit by closures on Monday after Storm Bert battered the country over the weekend, causing widespread flooding and killing four people.

There were more than 200 flood warnings and flood alerts in place across England and Wales, while trains from London to the southwest were cancelled and rail services in central England were severely disrupted.

"Do not attempt to travel on any route today," Great Western Railway, whose trains connect London to Bristol and Cornwall, said on X.

Among those killed during the storm were a dog walker in North Wales and a man who died when a tree hit his car in southern England.

Major roads in Northamptonshire and Bristol were closed, while fallen trees on rail lines cut off services between London and Stansted Airport, Britain's fourth busiest hub.

The disruption comes after Storm Bert hit Britain late on Friday, bringing snow, rain and strong winds.

The Met Office kept a warning for strong winds in place for northern Scotland on Monday and said the storm would clear from that part of the country early on Tuesday.
