It's time for green health
By Dr. Maliha HashmiIn recent weeks the world’s focus has been on the environment, and mitigating climate change, with leaders convening in Glasgow, Scotland, for the United Nations Climate Change Conference – COP26.Around 40,000 delegates from 200 countries registered for the conference that had produced commitments, including a pledge from our very own, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to reach net-zero emissions by 2060.With the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a major oil producer, it is impressively taking major steps to scale up climate action and environmental protection through its recently launched Saudi Green Initiative to improve quality of life and protect future generations.Commitments include a cooperative platform to implement a carbon circular economy; a regional center for climate...

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...

Looking to the future on our National Day

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,...

When can we go back to normal?
For a year now, there’s been no unhindered exercising at the gym. No vacations. No visiting with friends. And no long lunches out at our favorite restaurants, once a thrice-weekly indulgence.After the pandemic started last February, we ceased all normal activities and have been trapped in a bubble.But now that we’ve received our second dose of the vaccine, can we resume normal activities? What is it safe to do?With nearly 3 million doses given in our country now against COVID-19, many ask the same questions. Should they hug their grandchildren? Attend gathering? Go shopping? What about having plumbers and electricians inside their homes? Or flying?COVID-19 vaccines are effective at protecting you from getting sick. Based on what we know about COVID-19 vaccines, people who have been...

Judicial reforms on the way
A radical re-establishment of laws and legislations in a clear, specific and accurate manner, thus the basis for the work of the judiciary, is to implement the clear laws issued.This enables beneficiaries to predict judgments, raises the level of integrity and efficiency of the performance of judicial agencies, increases confidence in procedures and controls mechanisms, as they are integral in achieving justice, imposing limits to judicial responsibility and stabilizing legal references.In consequence, judges' discretionary authority to impose penalties and judgments that were primarily based on their experiences and trials are now limited.Additionally, judges will be restricted in their judgments due to previous vague judgments that have led to the discrepancy of rulings and the lack...
