Dr. CARLOS M. DUARTE
Youth as a nature-based climate solution
Nature-based solutions have emerged at COP26 as one of the top hot remedies to cool our fevered planet, reflected in multiple announcements of investing in blue carbon and afforestation projects. These projects all require a commitment of permanence of the carbon sequestered (or conserved), with a horizon of 100 years, so that the carbon is safe from being released back to the atmosphere over climatically relevant time scales.This is an interesting proposition as it binds three human generations around nature based climate solution projects. Climate change presents a disruption of the intergenerational contract through which parents work to deliver a better world to their children, as it is them, the zeta and alpha generations, not me, a baby boomer, who will live through and suffer the...

Youth as a nature-based climate solution

Challenges, but life goes on
By Bandar AlsenaidiMany countries around the world are facing challenges; the defense of their territories comes at the forefront, instead of other challenges such as the pandemic, the main cause of an economic shock faced by all countries of the world.That pandemic, which played an important role in the global economic shock, did not leave one of the world's countries without being influenced by it. The difficulty of life faced by these countries, especially their citizens, disturbs their lives, and obstructs their daily life, difficult challenges to face not only governments, but their citizens too - As I mentioned earlier - including economic, defense of the homeland and developments that are binding to governments to keep pace with the daily accelerating global development. In our...

Looking to the future on our National Day
It is our 91st National Day, with people from around the Kingdom coming together to celebrate the birth of modern Saudi Arabia.Could it be one of the most important this year?Activities will take place following a difficult 18 months where COVID-19 has sadly claimed many lives, made many seriously ill and led to a lockdown and disruption to businesses and lives.While our National Day gives us a chance to reflect on how we came together during the pandemic, it also gives us a chance to look forward.In many ways, maybe COVID-19 made the world smaller, more easily accessible and within the reach of all of us.We were forced to embrace modern technology not only to work but to chat to friends and family by using Zoom and other online applications.It also taught us that we didn’t need to get...

Sept. 11 is not out of context
Let us briefly review what had happened in those years; I mean before and after Sept. 11, 2001 when Al-Qaida terrorists struck the United States. This is also an attempt to put Sept. 11 in its chronological context.In 1991, Saudi Arabia revoked the citizenship of Osama Bin Laden when he refused to return to the Kingdom, and it was known at the time that he was the one who directed and supported terrorist operations from his place of residence in Sudan. In 1996, he left for Afghanistan and officially assumed the role of emir of this terrorist organization, and the name Al-Qaida appeared to us later.In 1993, Ramzi Yousef, a Pakistani national, attempted to bring down a tower of the World Trade Center in New York by driving a medium-sized truck into the tower’s garage and blowing it up. The...

KAUST... a Saudi University in a new world
By Ibrahim AbdulmajeedTwo months ago, I received two issues of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) publications from a fellow Saudi journalist Mr. Ali Makki Idris. What caught my attention upon reading them was the sense of modernity of life in the “new Saudi Arabia”.I was astonished by the level of scientific and cultural progress of many of its youth. This holds true to all young and adult Saudis that I happen to see on the media or those I interviewed in Egypt and abroad. I also knew that KAUST participated in Cairo International Book Fair 2021 with a professional crew, including Mr. Idris, who is constantly active and highly knowledgeable of KAUST.I learned from going through these two magazines that KAUST is a Saudi university that has been actively...

Role of Saudi women in enhancing the status of trade in Kingdom
For a long time, the Saudi women population remained an unutilized and unconsidered human resource. However, if this human resource can get incorporated into nation-building, it can be pivotal to Saudi’s economic development. Traditionally, these women face various barriers that limit their economic potential in accelerating, substantively, Saudi Arabia’s economy. These barriers include family’s domestic obligations, place, nature of work, cultural norms, unfavorable working conditions, lack of awareness, vocational and technical training.However, currently, Saudi Arabia’s government is aggressively and gradually eliminating these barriers that barred women from engaging in wealth creation and the nation’s economic building. Today’s Saudi Arabia is currently giving women more...

Partnerships to develop talents and businesses
Talents are always admired and competence is a quest as everyone wants to be the best at what they do. In conversations with talented people, many will speak fondly about certain times when someone showed them the ropes to be able to excel at what they are great at today. This could be a family member, friend, a mentor, an employer, a teacher, or a trainer. While the success of these individuals in mastering their craft came after their determination and dedication, the role of other people as enablers is essential in early stages. It is not that easy to choose a line of work that people can build their competency around even if they decide what is it that they want to do. College education alone is not sufficient to meet the requirement of the market, thus, graduates supplement their...

We can all play our part in a greener future
Saudi Arabia is going to turn green over the coming decades — literally, with 10 billion trees set to be planted in our communities. But this is just a small part of the big changes to our lifestyles that are aimed at improving the planet for future generations. When Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman unveiled the Saudi Green Initiative and the Green Middle East Initiative, it was a call for all of us to act now to make tomorrow better. Like every country in the world, we are facing a climate emergency, and must do our best to protect our planet. But how can each citizen play their part in making this happen? One way will be helping with the drive to divert 94 percent of waste away from landfill in the coming years. Of the items we throw away, the most common are food waste,...
