He explained that “the protocol aims to design and implement specialized training programs, provide technical and administrative consultations, organize conferences, forums and workshops, in addition to preparing studies and research and exchanging experiences, in order to support the efforts of governmental, civil and private institutions in achieving sustainable development in accordance with the best local and international practices.”.
For her part, Jenan Behzad, Secretary General of the Kuwait Environment Protection Society, affirmed that “this agreement aligns with the Society’s commitment to strengthening partnerships with specialized national institutions, stemming from its belief that achieving the Sustainable Development Goals begins with building human capital and empowering individuals with knowledge and skills.” Behzad added that “investing in building national capacities is a fundamental pillar for preparing qualified personnel capable of leading the transition towards a more sustainable future,” noting that “this partnership will contribute to translating the Sustainable Development Goals into practical training programs and initiatives that enhance environmental awareness, solidify social responsibility, and support the State of Kuwait’s vision and development plans.”.
