 | | Saudi Arabia is keen to protect the environmental safety of the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, and the Saudi petroleum industry--led by Saudi Aramco, the state oil company--has contributed to environmental protection through safety measures, early warning systems against possible leakage, and advanced methods to control and contain any pollution. |
 | | Saudi Arabia is a signatory to the London Protocol, which calls for phasing out chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases harmful to the ozone layer by 2010, and Aramco, in keeping with the protocol on ozone-depleting substances, has been identifying its CFC-based cooling systems and converting them to alternative compounds. |
 | | Although Saudi Arabia ratified the Convention, it is not a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol. |
