Abu Dhabi City Municipality continues its efforts to enhance environmental sustainability and urban aesthetics through a large-scale afforestation campaign aimed at increasing green spaces across Abu Dhabi and the mainland. Led by the Sub-Municipal Operations Sector, the initiative focuses on expanding tree coverage, improving air quality, and reinforcing the city’s commitment to environmental conservation.
The campaign was carried out across various municipal centers, each focusing on specific areas. The Mussafah and Al Shahamah Municipal Centers targeted parks and schools within their jurisdictions, while the Al Wathbah Municipal Center implemented the initiative in Al Shamkhah Square. Zayed City Municipal Center extended the campaign to all public parks under its administration, ensuring a widespread impact. Meanwhile, the City Municipality Center prioritized public awareness, engaging the community in discussions about environmental responsibility and preserving green spaces. The campaign also involved outreach efforts in schools and parks, educating visitors on the role of afforestation in maintaining ecological balance.
This initiative successfully mobilized participants from all sectors of society, including students, park visitors, and strategic partners. By involving the wider community, the Municipality aimed to encourage public engagement in sustainability efforts, fostering a culture of environmental stewardship. Children played a central role in the campaign, gaining firsthand experience in tree planting and learning about the long-term benefits of expanding green spaces.
Beyond beautifying the city, the campaign contributes to biodiversity conservation, air quality improvement, and overall quality of life. Increasing tree coverage in public spaces such as parks, schools, and recreational areas further supports Abu Dhabi’s vision for a sustainable urban environment. The Municipality also distributed hundreds of tree and plant saplings to residents, students, and campaign partners, reinforcing the importance of active community participation in greening efforts.
To complement the on-ground activities, the Municipality launched an extensive awareness drive that included educational workshops, lectures, and field visits. Informational materials were distributed through the Fareejna application, and teams conducted awareness tours in parks, recreational areas, and public spaces to engage the community directly.
By integrating afforestation efforts with public engagement and education, Abu Dhabi City Municipality continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainability, ensuring a greener and more environmentally resilient future for the city.
