SustainableOmanSustainableOmanWhat is Al-Monasabat Al-Alamiya?
International days, or Al-Monasabat Al Alamiya in Arabic, are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilise personal will and resources to address global problems, and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity.
The Sultanate, represented by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Affairs, celebrates Oman Environment Day on January 8, upon the directives of His Majesty, the late, Sultan Qaboos to embody the role played by the Sultanate in preserving the environment, and support efforts made to protect our natural resources.
January 8th is an annual environmental event in which the Sultanate celebrates the environmental developments at local and international levels in the field of environmental protection, and emphasizes the contribution of society ,and government and private institutions in the protection and conservation of natural resources.
Why Do We Mark International Days?
SustainableOman, as a supporter of the SDGs and Oman Vision 2040, has embraced them as a powerful advocacy tool. Each international day offers many actors the opportunity to organise activities related to the theme of the day.
SustainableOman makes an international day, in addition to the Sultanate’s special days, a part of our awareness building campaign.
