dependable methodology and a widely accepted motif that supports the strategic goals of

the ‘Year of Sustainability,’ which was announced under the slogan ‘Today for
Tomorrow’. By working on this initiative, we aim to mitigate the negative consequences

of climate change on the security of food and water. We also seek to contribute to the
preservation of the natural resources, in order to ensure that future generations enjoy the

same and higher standard of living that the state offers to families today. Families must
work together to solve environmental challenges, particularly those related to pollution,

conserving water and power, reducing environmental impact, and transforming family's
eating and spending patterns. This calls on each family to assume accountability for

protecting the natural richness and being fully aware of the rights of future generations.”
