The Year of Sustainability (YOS) initiative in the UAE is encouraging young people to adopt sustainable habits and take a leadership role in building a greener future.

"We are working with UAE-based experts, and we're engaging youth through social media platforms to encourage sustainable initiatives, inspiring them with anecdotes from our ancestors and encouraging them to learn from our rich heritage of sustainability," said Rauda Al Falasi, Year of Sustainability Working Team.
Last week, the group conducted a majlis titled Youth Clicks in Al Ain, where sustainability and responsible consumption were discussed. The event was in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) Youth Council, the National Experts Programme, and the Al Ain Youth Council.
The initiative aims to promote collective action towards a sustainable future by encouraging responsible food consumption, reducing waste, promoting plant-based diets and eco-friendly products, and reducing carbon emissions.
The YOS has planned activations to promote these goals and will soon release a guide on how to live an eco-friendly lifestyle.
The initiative hopes to guide the current generation towards a more sustainable future and leave a legacy for future generations.
