ABU DHABI, October 17, 2024

The 14th edition of Saudi Green Building Forum (SGBF), held recently, successfully brought together global leaders, policymakers, and innovators to explore the future of sustainable development in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. 
 
Hosted at Hilton Riyadh, the forum served as a vital platform for thought leadership, knowledge sharing, and progress on green building initiatives in line with Vision 2030, said the organisers.
 
Centered around the theme "Building a Sustainable Future: Innovations and Best Practices for Green Construction," the forum featured a robust programme that included keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive workshops. Over 700 attendees from more than 20 countries participated in the event.
 
The key topics covered include a wide array of pressing issues, from energy-efficient design and sustainable urban planning to eco-friendly materials and renewable energy integration.
 
These sessions were led by prominent experts in architecture, engineering, and urban planning.
 
Mohamed El Zarkani, the United Nations Resident Co-ordinator in Saudi Arabia, highlighted the forum’s critical role in promoting sustainability in the built environment. 
 
He pointed out that initiatives like the SGBF, aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, are turning challenges into opportunities. 
 
Green buildings, a pillar of this vision, not only address environmental concerns but also enhance human well-being, ensuring a secure and sustainable future, he stated.
