Alsun Arabia delivered top-tier simultaneous interpretation for the Climate Change and Carbon Credits Workshop in the Eastern Province. Here are the details of our participation in the workshop, titled “Green Eastern Province: From Global Commitment to Municipal Action,” featuring a specialized team of the Kingdom’s top simultaneous interpreters.
About the Climate Change & Carbon Credits Workshop
The Climate Change and Carbon Credits Workshop is a result of growing interest in recent years around sustainability and ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the Eastern Province. The purpose of this event is to raise awareness of sustainability and key concepts related to carbon credits, as well as the government initiatives supporting sustainable development.
The workshop’s discussions focused on the Eastern Province Municipality’s current exploration of investment opportunities to support the carbon credit market, alongside continuous monitoring of the environmental impact of development projects and ongoing solutions to reduce factors negatively affecting the climate.
In addition to that, some possible cooperations with academic and private sectors were discussed as a way to organize additional workshops and meetings informing people about environmental investment opportunities in the coming years.

Challenges of Interpreting Climate & Environmental Terminology
The major challenges we have faced while interpreting terminology related to the environment and climate were the following:
➀ Highly Specific Terminology
Our team handled expertly the difficulty of interpreting the terminology of the environment and climate, including carbon credits, emissions, carbon certificates, sustainability, etc.
➁ Cultural Linguistics
Because environmental and climate terms differ across languages and cultures, literal translations could easily lead to misunderstandings among participants.
➂ Speed of Terminology Interpreting
Interpreting in real time is a challenge by itself, and especially when the interpreter should be quick, since there is always a risk of making a mistake that would distort the meaning of the sentence entirely.
➃ Interpreting the Meaning, Not Just Words
In order to provide accurate interpreting in this complicated domain, one needs to have sufficient knowledge and ability to transfer the meaning rather than words, since otherwise the participant will miss the essence of the message.
