Saudi Arabia is driving a major shift in the transportation sector to address the rising challenges of climate change. The Kingdom’s plans in this area are crucial to the global effort to reduce carbon emissions by 4%, focusing on exploring modern transportation alternatives. Experts in energy and logistics applaud Saudi Arabia for proactively aligning with global climate change trends.
Since the early days of modern Saudi Arabia, King Abdulaziz established key principles, including the use of Shura (consultative) councils as a crucial aspect of his wise governance. Under his rule, the Shura Council was formed, representing a significant move towards institutionalizing governance practices. This marked the beginning of a constitutional framework for the developing state. The constitutional movement began in February 1925 with the first National Council being founded under the speakership of Sheikh Abdul Gadir Al-Shebi.
