ROSHN Group, the sustainability partner at the Conference of the Parties COP16 to Combat Desertification, will highlight how development can benefit both biodiversity and the environment at the conference.

ROSHN will outline its contributions to the Saudi Green Initiative and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
COP16, taking place in Riyadh from 2nd to 13th December, brings together leaders from governments, the private sector, civil society, and global stakeholders to accelerate sustainable land management. A central theme this year is how the private sector can drive economies and societies toward a low-carbon future while advancing environmental regeneration.
As a participant in the Green Zone, ROSHN will demonstrate its commitment to integrating sustainability as a core principle across its developments. In terms of land regeneration, the Group aims to plant 14 million trees and shrubs across its communities by 2030, focusing on native species selected for their climate adaptability. Many of these will be cultivated at the ROSHN Green Initiative Center in “SEDRA”, the Group’s flagship community in north Riyadh.
At ROSHN’s pavilion, visitors will discover the Group’s visionary approach to crafting communities where nature and well-being are seamlessly intertwined. Central to this vision is the concept of “living streets”, which feature shaded, tree-lined walkways and green spaces that encourage outdoor activity. ROSHN developments are designed for tomorrow, incorporating cycling paths, walking trails, and public EV charging stations to promote sustainable and carbon-free mobility for residents and visitors alike.
Through its dedication to sustainability and regeneration, ROSHN Group is setting a new benchmark for integrating environmental responsibility into real estate development, contributing to a greener, healthier future for the Kingdom and its people.
