Statement of Ahmad bin Meshar,

Secretary-General of the Supreme

Legislation Committee on National

Environment Day 2024

February 4, 2024 15

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.
