During the event, His Excellency the Capital Governor, Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulrahman bin Rashid Al Khalifa, highlighted that this initiative reflects the Capital Governorate's sustained commitment to promoting environmental awareness throughout society. This is pursued through comprehensive programmes, including coastal clean-ups and urban greening projects, designed to safeguard the local ecosystem.
He emphasised the importance of integrating environmental sustainability principles and promoting green spaces. He reaffirmed the governorate's ongoing support for initiatives advancing the Green Capital project, which was launched in 2014, aligning with Bahrain's national strategy for environmental preservation and urban greenery.
