Salalah: The GCC Forum on Green Mobility will begin on August 31, 2025, in the Wilayat of Salalah, the Governorate of Dhofar. The conference will gather professionals and specialists from all across the GCC region to discuss ways to enhance environmental sustainability in the transportation sector and encourage the adoption of clean, alternative means of transportation.

It will also underline essential rules and initiatives that help to achieve netzero targets and lower carbon emissions in the transportation industry.
The forum's activities began with a virtual GCC workshop organized by the Ministry of Transportation, Communication, and Information Technology in collaboration with the GCC General Secretariat. Representatives from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait worked together to develop practical outcomes and joint implementation strategies to help the transition to sustainable mobility while also promoting regional environmental and economic integration.
As part of the associated events, Dhofar Governorate will conduct recreational and awareness programs for youngsters on August 15–16.
