Also marking the occasion, Dr Amna Al Dahak, Minister of Climate Change and the Environment, joined Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed, Ruler's Representative in Al Ain Region, at the Emirates Agriculture Conference and Exhibition. She spoke about the environmental principles laid down by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
"Inspired by the vision of our Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who recognised the link between a healthy environment and a thriving society, the UAE remains steadfast in its dedication to safeguarding our natural heritage", she said.
"We envision a future with thriving ecosystems and protected life both on land and in the sea – a legacy we build together as a community".

"Each of us, as responsible members of our community, can play a leading role in realising our nation’s vision by joining the mission to eliminate unnecessary plastic from our daily lives", she said.
"Let us become active agents of change, leading a powerful movement towards thriving communities and a vibrant, resilient environment".
