Latifa Al-Droubi Participates in Zero Waste Initiative Meeting in Antalya
Latifa Al-Droubi, wife of Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, participated on Wednesday in a high-level roundtable meeting hosted by Emine Erdoğan, wife of the President of Turkey. The event took place on the sidelines of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31), currently being held in the Turkish city of Antalya.
This participation comes as part of broader international efforts to discuss the “Zero Waste” initiative, which seeks to adopt sustainable practices to reduce waste and strengthen global cooperation in addressing the accelerating impacts of climate change. The roundtable, which included the spouses of several heads of state and government, highlights the shared global interest in environmental issues that pose collective challenges.
Al-Droubi’s participation is part of the agenda for the official Syrian delegation attending the COP31 conference. President Ahmed Al-Sharaa arrived in Antalya earlier today to attend the summit’s proceedings.
The COP31 conference serves as a significant international platform, drawing representatives from approximately 196 countries, along with leaders of various nations and international organizations, to address a range of core issues. Key topics on this year’s agenda include the financing of climate policies, the assurance of energy security, and the strategic transition toward clean energy sources. Additionally, the conference is addressing strategies for carbon emission reduction and methods for adapting to the extreme weather phenomena currently impacting various regions across the globe.
This engagement reflects Syria’s commitment to keeping pace with international efforts regarding environmental issues. It also underscores the importance of engaging in international cooperation to confront climate crises, which require unified action across national, regional, and global levels.
