KNPC Role in Climate Change Mitigation

About this Topic

Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges, driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere due to anthropogenic activities. The energy sector is a significant contributor to GHG emissions, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels and industrial processes. KNPC has recognized its role and initiated a pivotal role in mitigating climate change by adopting cleaner technologies, improving energy efficiency, and investing in sustainable practices.

The presentation will encompass the issue of climate change and the efforts of the international community under the UN to save the planet from deleterious effects. The presentation will highlight various initiatives and vision of KNPC to mitigate climate change.
