Dubai Municipality reiterated its constant actions and commitment towards the environment and nature in the emirate in an efficient and effective manner whatever the nature and magnitude of the current challenges are, including those related to the existence of a global challenge that threatens the health and safety of societies by the Corona Virus pandemic, as this comes from its concern to preserve the environment and natural resources for the present and future generations.
The operations to preserve the various environmental sectors, air, water and soil, from pollution and erosion are among the most important priorities that Dubai Municipality is keen to promote and develop in line with national trends and the Dubai Plan 2021 visions.
The Municipality has been implementing during the past years an array of environmental initiatives and strategic projects to maintain air quality in the city of Dubai in a way that ensures the happiness of its people, residents and visitors.
