Oman announces launch of National Climate Platform

Oman announced at COP30 climate summit in Brazil the launch of a National Climate Platform as a key strategic tool to implement national priorities, attract climate finance and enhance international cooperation.

During a session on  “Delivering Climate Solutions through Country Platforms”, Dr Thuraya Al Sareeriya, of the Environmental Authority of Oman said the National Platform is being developed as an integrated national system to serve as a hub for coordination and investment.

The Platform brings together national priorities, climate finance and international cooperation with the aim of turning national strategies into practical programmes with measurable impact to support the transition toward a low carbon and climate resilient future.

She said the platform is built on three core principles of national ownership, partnership and transparency. It will use advanced digital tools to improve transparency, track investments, measure progress and build trust with partners at national and international levels. This reflects Oman’s readiness to deliver impactful results with national ownership and global relevance.

The Environment Authority in Oman leads this work in partnership with relevant national bodies with full openness to international institutions, the private sector and countries in the region.

The platform will focus on priority sectors for mitigation and adaptation in line with Oman Vision 2040 and the Net Zero 2050 Strategy. These include clean energy and green hydrogen, water, agriculture and climate resilience, waste management and the circular economy and private sector finance.

The National Platform will act as a key tool for managing and coordinating all funding requests submitted to international climate finance institutions based on national priorities that will be set in partnership with all stakeholders in Oman.
