November 6th of each year marks the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict. This day aims to shed light on the environmental consequences of armed conflicts—such as the pollution of air, water, and soil, and the destruction of natural resources and biodiversity.
The General Authority for the Environment emphasizes the importance of protecting the environment from the impacts of wars and conflicts, and of raising awareness about the necessity of preserving natural resources. These resources are a fundamental pillar for the sustainability of life and for ensuring the right of future generations to a safe and healthy environment.
Protecting the environment is a shared responsibility; safeguarding its resources means securing the future for generations to come.
