Saudi Arabia has formed a global alliance to push for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the country's foreign minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said on Thursday on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.
The estimates of the World Travel & Tourism Council indicate that Saudi Arabia’s tourism sector’s overall (direct and indirect) contribution to GDP reached 11.5% in 2023 — and is expected to increase to 16% by 2034.
Global energy demand in this year’s WOO is set to expand by 24% in the period to 2050, driven by significant expansion in the non-OECD region. The Outlook sees the need for an expansion in all energy sources, with the exception of coal.
The tripling renewables and doubling efficiency targets could, on their own, get the world fully two-thirds of the way to a Paris-aligned energy system by 2030.
