"I am thrilled that KSA has chosen the path of real change and is adding value to waste management. I eagerly look forward to being a part of this partnership “ There are significant opportunities for investment in waste management in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and this investment plays a pivotal role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fostering a sustainable circular economy in the country. why: 1. Rising Waste Generation: KSA is experiencing a steady increase in waste generation due to population growth, urbanization, and industrialization. This surge in waste provides a substantial opportunity for private and public sector investors to develop and operate efficient waste management systems. 2. Resource Recovery: Waste streams contain valuable resources, such as metals, plastics, and organic materials, that can be recovered, recycled, or repurposed. Investments in waste management infrastructure allow for the extraction of these resources, contributing to a circular economy by reducing the need for virgin materials. 3. Energy Generation: Waste-to-energy technologies, such as incineration and biogas production, can be lucrative investments. These processes not only reduce the volume of waste but also generate renewable energy, contributing to both waste reduction and sustainable energy production. 4. Job Creation: The establishment of waste management facilities, recycling centers, and related industries creates employment opportunities. This is particularly important for KSA's goal of diversifying its economy and reducing dependence on oil. 5. Environmental Protection: Proper waste management helps mitigate environmental degradation, safeguarding ecosystems and reducing pollution. This aligns with the SDGs related to clean water, life on land and below water, and climate action. 6. Circular Economy: Investment in waste management is a fundamental step towards achieving a circular economy by ensuring resources are used efficiently, products are designed for reuse, and waste is minimized. To maximize these opportunities and meet the SDGs while fostering a sustainable circular economy in KSA, the following actions are essential: - Infrastructure Development: Invest in state-of-the-art waste collection, recycling, and disposal infrastructure. - Policy Framework: Develop and enforce policies and regulations that encourage waste reduction, recycling, and responsible waste management practices. - Public Engagement: Educate and engage the public and businesses to participate actively in waste reduction and recycling efforts. - Innovation and Technology: Support research and development initiatives to improve waste management technologies and processes. From my perspective It represents a key step toward achieving the SDGs and establishing a sustainable circular economy in the country, المركز الوطني لإدارة النفايات ( موان ) | National Center for Waste Management #موان #waste#KSA

Over the past decade, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has witnessed a remarkable rise in female labor force participation, to around 36% last year. At the same time, female unemployment dropped significantly. But there’s more work to be done to enable this talent pool to access the opportunities ahead. I am delighted to share my perspectives with today’s edition of Arab News on what’s spurred these remarkable strides forward, as well as what can be done to overcome residual barriers to participation, and to ensure women are moving into quality jobs, especially in the country’s burgeoning tourism & hospitality sector. https://lnkd.in/d2Fx5m-V Oliver Wyman
