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.
