KSA National Greening Program

Our mission

The National Greening Program (NGP) is the delivery arm of Saudi Arabia’s Green Initiative (SGI), which aims to grow 10 billion trees and restore 40 million hectares of land, making it one of the world’s largest land restoration commitments.

The NGP oversees nationwide restoration efforts, providing regulatory guidance, standards and monitoring while coordinating on-the-ground implementation. In 2023, it launched the National Greening Masterplan, developed through a two-year feasibility study involving more than 50 local and international experts, to guide restoration efforts through 2030 and beyond.

By 2023, the programme had planted over 43.9 million trees and restored 94,000 hectares of degraded land. Its 2030 targets include restoring 4 million hectares and planting 400 million trees, demonstrating the potential to scale ecosystem restoration under some of the world's most challenging arid conditions.
