Muscat: Represented by the Environment Authority, the Sultanate of Oman today joined other countries in celebrating World Environment Day, which falls on 5 June every year.
Under the motto of “Our Land, Our Future”, the event this year focuses on restoring lands, resisting desertification and building drought resistance strategies.
The celebration seeks to raise awareness about environmental issues, encourage communities to protect the environment and strengthen environmental policies at the local, national and international levels.
The event also lays emphasis on engaging young people in environmental activities and activating international cooperation between countries to address global environmental challenges.
World Environment Day, which stems from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), constitutes the largest global platform for public awareness about the environment. It is celebrated by millions of people around the world. This year (2024), the event is hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
