The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has adopted a new law and policy framework, Vision 2030, designed to deliver a transition to a diversified and low-carbon economy. This paper analyses from an environmental law and policy perspective how law is providing opportunities and challenges in achieving the outcomes of this national masterplan. The paper employs traditional legal scholarship to assess the law itself and also explores its impact in practice, via an analysis of findings from expert stakeholder interviews. Key issues around environmental governance are discussed in depth in the light of Vision 2030. One of the key issues of focus is that of integration, in terms of the design and practice of law, institutions and outcomes. To date, it is clear that the further policies needed to ensure that environmental integration and a low-carbon transition take place are currently being created in the effort to deliver the aims of the Vision. This study finds that the transition to a low-carbon economy in the KSA is under-researched and under-explored in practice, from an environmental perspective. The findings attest that although some significant actions have been initiated, further action needs to be taken, given the importance of this transition, in the KSA in the light of the promising nature of Vision 2030 in this regard.

沙特阿拉伯王国（KSA）通过了新的法律和政策框架，即2030年愿景，旨在实现向多元化和低碳经济的过渡。本文从环境法律和政策的角度分析了法律如何为实现该国家总体规划的成果提供了机遇和挑战。本文采用传统的法律奖学金来评估法律本身，并通过对利益相关方专家访谈的发现进行分析，探讨其在实践中的影响。根据《 2030年愿景》深入讨论了围绕环境治理的关键问题。关注的关键问题之一是就法律，制度和成果的设计和实施而言的一体化问题。迄今为止，显然，目前正在制定进一步的政策，以确保实现环境整合和低碳转型，以实现远景目标。这项研究发现，从环境的角度来看，在KSA中向低碳经济的过渡在实践中尚未得到充分研究和探索。调查结果证明，尽管已经采取了一些重大行动，但鉴于这种过渡的重要性，鉴于《 2030年愿景》在这方面的前景广阔，因此必须在KSA中采取进一步行动。
