NEOM's Sustainability Goals: A Vision for Tomorrow
Building the world's most sustainable region from a clean sheet: Where the future of humanity begins.
NEOM is not just a city; it is a vision of how the future could look. Strategically located in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, NEOM represents the boldest sustainability experiment in human history. By integrating 100% renewable energy, a circular economy, and cognitive city technology, NEOM aims to solve the world's most pressing urban challenges.
From The Line—a revolution in zero-carbon urbanism—to the cognitive industrial hub of Oxagon, every project within NEOM is built on a foundation of absolute sustainability and harmony with nature.
Future of Living
NEOM: The
Green Frontier
Achieving 100% renewable energy and 0% carbon emissions.
The Three Foundations
Environment
95% of NEOM's land is protected for conservation. Achieving net-positive biodiversity through rewilding and sea-water farming.
Society
Humans first design. No cars, no streets. All daily needs reachable within a 5-minute walk. Zero noise and air pollution.
Economy
A hub for the world's leading innovators. 100% circular economy where waste is a resource and growth is green.
Net Zero
By Design
NEOM will be powered by 100% renewable energy—solar, wind, and the world's largest green-hydrogen project. Its infrastructure is built for water circularity, with zero liquid discharge into the marine environment.
The Line's mirror facade is not just aesthetic; it reflects the sun and allows the city to blend into the landscape, minimizing the disruption to native ecosystems while maximizing thermal efficiency.
