Climate Action Powered by You

As the Kingdom of Bahrain accelerates its journey toward a sustainable future, it proudly introduces Safa, a next-generation carbon-offsetting platform designed to empower individuals, businesses, and communities to take decisive action against climate change. Developed as part of Mumtalakat’s sustainability portfolio (the national investment arm of Bahrain), Safa positions Bahrain as a regional leader in climate innovation and responsible development.

From Awareness to Action

Safa delivers a comprehensive three-step climate toolset: Calculate, Offset, and Reduce. The Calculate tool measures the individuals and/or corporate emissions through a customized calculator to provide insight into carbon footprints. The Offset tool allows offsetting unavoidable emissions by supporting climate projects. Reduce tool provides ways to reduce carbon footprint through a comprehensive knowledge hub.

Through the platform, users can precisely measure their carbon emissions whether related to personal travel or corporate operations using advanced calculators powered by internationally recognized data standards. Once calculated, Safa offers users access to a curated portfolio of high-quality, verified offsetting projects. These initiatives span a wide range, from supporting solar cookers in refugee communities to facilitating extensive mangrove restoration programs. Each project is carefully selected to ensure maximum positive impact on both the environment and the community.

Partnerships Driving Progress

Strategic partnerships amplify the reach and impact of Safa. For example, GFH Financial Group has committed to offsetting the annual CO₂ emissions for all its full-time employees through the platform, demonstrating environmental leadership and aligning with Bahrain’s Net Zero 2060 objectives. Furthermore, the Bahrain International Circuit has incorporated carbon-offset options into its future Grand Prix events, giving fans the opportunity to actively participate in sustainable sports and responsible event management. Such partnerships highlight the pivotal role of collaboration in advancing national and global climate goals.

A Hub for Climate Education and Civic Engagement

Beyond its role as an offsetting tool, Safa serves as a vital knowledge hub. The platform’s educational features—including an ecological footprint calculator and a collection of real-world case studies—foster greater environmental awareness and inspire positive behavioral change. Educational institutions, NGOs, and community groups have already adopted Safa’s resources to engage young people in practical environmental initiatives such as beach cleanups, sustainability workshops, and carbon awareness campaigns. These efforts help cultivate a culture of civic responsibility and climate literacy across the Kingdom.

Aligning with National Vision

Safa reflects Bahrain’s unwavering commitment to SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) through the integration of technological innovation and active citizen engagement. By making climate action accessible, measurable, and relevant at the local level, Safa strengthens Bahrain’s position as a champion of sustainable infrastructure and environmental stewardship. Ultimately, the platform enables every resident, business, and visitor to contribute meaningfully to building a greener, more resilient future for the nation.
