Dammam is hosting the "Green Nation, Sustainable Tomorrow 2026" forum at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University from 5 to 7 May, with the participation of government, academic and private bodies, as part of national efforts to strengthen environmental sustainability and build a more balanced future.

The forum is a national platform bringing experts, decision-makers and environmental stakeholders together to discuss environmental challenges, exchange expertise and present innovative solutions that support the shift toward sustainable development in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

A National Platform for Environmental Awareness

The forum aims to raise the community's environmental awareness and instill a culture of responsibility toward natural resources through awareness programs and workshops for every segment of society, promoting sustainable practices in daily life.

It also seeks to highlight environmental work as an integrated system built on planning and cooperation among different bodies rather than isolated initiatives.

Effective Partnerships to Support Sustainability

The forum focuses on the importance of building strategic partnerships among the public and private sectors and academic institutions to develop sustainable environmental projects with long-term impact and turn ideas into practical applications that protect the environment.

These partnerships are an essential element in supporting the green economy and improving the efficiency of natural resource use.

Encouraging Innovation in Environmental Solutions

The forum presents a number of innovative initiatives and projects built on modern technology, such as recycling solutions, emissions reduction and improved resource efficiency, helping to confront environmental challenges such as climate change and pollution.

It also provides a stimulating environment for innovators to present their ideas and connect with supporting bodies to turn them into viable projects.

An Interactive Environment Combining Knowledge and Practice

The forum takes place at a university site equipped to host major events, with panel discussions, workshops and accompanying exhibitions that allow direct interaction among participants and connect academia with practical application on environmental and sustainability issues.

The forum is an important step toward raising environmental awareness and supporting the Kingdom's journey toward sustainable development and a balance between economic growth and environmental protection.
