WAM

The UAE will be celebrating ‘World Environment Day’, which will be held under the slogan ‘Biodiversity’ on Friday, June 5.

The United Nations (UN) chose the theme in light of the recent events in the world, including the fires in Brazil, the US and Australia, locust swarms in many regions and the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the world.

The UAE has reinforced its global position by hosting major environmental events, such as the Climate Forum held in Dubai and Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.

The country is also implementing a range of projects and strategies that aim to protect the environment and alleviate the effects of climate change.
