Based on preserving and protecting the environment, preserving its resources and achieving environmental balance, the Kingdom took a historic decision to establish the National Center for Oversight of Environmental Compliance in 2020 as an independent entity financially and administratively. It works in integration with the rest of the components of the institutional framework of the national environmental system to monitor the compliance of all development activities with the approved environmental regulations, standards and requirements. The center sets environmental controls and requirements and follows up on the enforcement of environmental laws and regulations to achieve the aspirations of the wise leadership regarding improving environmental commitment and achieving a balance between development and environmental protection.
