Reminding the public why individual actions towards responsible consumption and environmental conservation have impact, Year of Sustainability Digital Strategic Director Mariam Almeraikhi saying,
“By taking responsibility for our everyday actions, such as portioning food, reducing red meat consumption, avoiding single-use plastics, and switching to slow fashion, we are taking the power into our own hands to influence the climate action”.
“As the UAE prepares to host COP28 and focuses on macro-level efforts to prevent climate change, it is our responsibility to ensure we do everything in our power to achieve climate action. “Our collective actions today will determine the future we leave to the next generation.”
