Sultanate follows balanced development policy: Toobi   

Oman Tribune - 23 June, 2012

The Sultanate gives priority to issues of sustainable development to improve the lives of people and backs international efforts to protect the environment and to preserve natural sources, besides tackling challenges of climate change, according to HE Mohammed Bin Salim Al Toobi, Minister of Environment and Climate Affairs.

“The Sultanate follows a balanced development policy based on harmony among all sectors and the importance of protecting the environment from pollution,” said Toobi, who chaired the Sultanate’s delegation at the UN Sustainable Development Conference summit in Rio de Janeiro, as assigned by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said.

The Sultanate is working to achieve sustainable development goals in economic development and social justice.

The Sultanate has ensured protection of the environment through laws and regulations. It has on many occasions asserted the importance of paying more interest to issues of environment and sustainable development in the light of the UN development report in 2011 about the importance of taking immediate steps to tackle climate change.

The conference concludes on Saturday.
