Saudi Climate Diplomacy Strategy

Saudi Arabia’s climate diplomacy operates at the intersection of the Kingdom’s hydrocarbon economy, its Vision 2030 transformation ambitions, and the global imperative to limit greenhouse gas emissions. As the world’s largest oil exporter and one of its highest per-capita emitters, Saudi Arabia occupies a uniquely sensitive position in international climate negotiations, simultaneously a major contributor to the emissions that drive climate change and a nation existentially exposed to the economic consequences of aggressive decarbonisation policies.

Saudi Energy Transition Roadmap Analysis

This Saudi energy transition roadmap analysis examines how the world’s largest oil exporter is changing its domestic energy system while maintaining fiscal stability and diversifying its economic base. The Kingdom has articulated a distinctive approach: rather than abandoning hydrocarbons, it seeks to reduce the carbon intensity of its energy system through renewable energy deployment, energy efficiency improvements, carbon capture, hydrogen production, and the circular carbon economy framework. The net-zero by 2060 target, announced at COP26 in November 2021, provides the long-term anchor for this transition.
