National symposium on The First Saudi National communication to the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change (UNFCCC)

This project is supported by the GEF and UNDP. It focused on activities that will ensure systematic and accelerated preparation of the first National Communication and report to the UNFCCC required under its  the article no. 12. Climate change is a global challenge and requires a global solution.   Greenhouse gas emissions have the same impact on the atmosphere wherever it originates.  Consequently, action by one country  to  reduce emissions will do little to slow global warming unless other countries act as well.  Ultimately, an effective strategy will require commitments and action by all the major emitting countries. Developing countries have raised concerns about the potential impacts of climate change related energy policies undertaken by developed countries to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, Articles 4.8 and 4.10 of the UNFCCC as well as Articles 2.3 and 3.14 of the Kyoto Protocol stipulate that Annex I parties agree to meet specific needs of developing countries arising from the impact of the implementation of response measures.
