Bahrain’s delegation at COP26, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, yesterday pledged the Kingdom’s support for four key international climate change initiatives.
They are the UAE Net-Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative, Global Ocean Alliance 30by30 Initiative, Global Methane Pledge, and Greening Government Initiative. The UAE Strategic Initiative aims to strengthen multilateral cooperation, exchange best practices and know-how and drive joint climate action to achieve net-zero carbon emissions.
The Global Ocean Alliance 30by30 Initiative aims to protect at least 30% of the world’s oceans as Marine Protected Areas by 2030. The Global Methane Pledge, which was launched yesterday, plans to cut global methane emissions by at least 30% by 2030.
The Greening Government Initiative will better enable participating countries to exchange information, promote innovation and share best practices in order to achieve the greening of government operations.
Bahrain’s endorsement of these four key international initiatives is evidence of its commitment to international cooperation and action to tackle climate change and follows the Kingdom announcing its intention to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2060.
Bahrain’s delegation also includes its Special Envoy for Climate Affairs and CEO of the Supreme Council for Environment, Dr Mohammed bin Mubarak bin Daina.
