Statement of Ahmad bin Meshar,

Secretary-General of the Supreme Legislation Committee

on National Environment Day 2024

3 February 2024: As we celebrate the National Environment Day, the United Arab Emirates

(UAE) stands out as a beacon of progress in sustainability, spearheading initiatives in climate

action and environmental protection. This anniversary highlights the UAE’s significant
contributions to global environmental preservation efforts while promoting awareness and

encouraging environmentally friendly practices among society members. Furthermore, the day

underscores the UAE’s impressive legacy of environmental sustainability, a foundation laid by the

visionary late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the father of the nation. The pursuit of

sustainability gained further momentum under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed

bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE, who declared 2023 as the ‘Year of Sustainability’.

This was followed by UAE hosting the COP28. On this special occasion, the Supreme Legislation

Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC) reaffirms its commitment to developing a legislative

system that supports and promotes the sustainable environmental practices, contributing to

safeguarding our environment and resources for the future generations.
