Saudi Arabia's Withdrawal: The end of its guardian role in the Palestinian crisis

An unprecedented experiment in economic and social change is underway in Saudi Arabia, with potential consequences that could profoundly impact the entire Arab world. The primary goal of the country's Vision 2030 is to liberate the economy from its dependence on fossil fuels. Under the Paris Climate Agreement, the commitment to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius necessitates reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent by 2030 and reaching zero emissions by 2050. Effective measures must be implemented now to achieve these targets.
