‏Green Riyadh, Ministry of Sport Launch Community Engagement Initiative Under the 'Active and Responsible Gulf Youth' Theme

Green Riyadh, in partnership with the Ministry of Sport, launched a community engagement tree-planting initiative on June 6, 2024, in celebration of Gulf Youth Day. The event, themed "Active and Responsible Gulf Youth," welcomed volunteers, athletes, and various GCC delegations.

 The initiative saw participation from volunteers of all age groups who worked together to plant trees and engage in various activities. This partnership between Green Riyadh and the Ministry of Sport aims to foster community engagement among the youth, encourage volunteerism, and cultivate a community that actively and consistently protects the environment.

 Green Riyadh, a megaproject launched by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and initiated by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, aims to plant over 7.5 million trees in Riyadh, increasing the city's green cover to 9% and raising the per capita green space from 1.7 square meters to 28 square meters, equivalent to 16 times its current level.

 This megaproject enhances Riyadh's urban environment by greening residential neighbourhoods and contributes to the Saudi Green Initiative (SGI) of planting 10 billion trees across the Kingdom as part of Saudi Vision 2030.
