On this day, April 22, the world celebrates International Earth Day, which was first launched in 1970 as a global call to protect our planet from pollution and environmental degradation, and to raise awareness about the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations.
We see this day as an opportunity to renew global commitment to the environment and to work together for a more sustainable future.
The Syrian Future Movement, as a civil movement that believes in the values of justice and sustainable development, sees that the goals of Earth Day directly intersect with the aspirations of the Syrian people in building a homeland that respects the environment and preserves its natural resources. Syria, which has suffered for decades from environmental neglect and the systematic destruction of infrastructure, is in urgent need of a new vision that restores the balance between humanity and nature, and places environmental protection at the heart of the reconstruction process.
The Syrian Future Movement affirms the necessity for Syria’s reconstruction to be based on sustainable environmental foundations that take into account the protection of natural resources and the reduction of pollution.
The Syrian Future Movement, in light of the challenges Syria faces from water scarcity and pollution, sees the necessity of making water resource management a national priority to ensure the provision of clean water for all Syrians.
The Syrian Future Movement calls for launching national campaigns for reforestation and combating desertification, especially in areas that were destroyed during the years of war.
The Syrian Future Movement stresses the importance of enhancing environmental awareness among new generations through educational curricula and awareness programs.
The Syrian Future Movement affirms its full support for the goals of Earth Day and calls on all Syrians to participate in global efforts to protect our planet.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that environmental protection should be an essential part of Syria’s new social contract, ensuring the rights of future generations to live in a clean and safe environment.
The Syrian Future Movement calls for strengthening cooperation with neighboring countries and international organizations to achieve sustainable development goals and address shared environmental challenges.
The Syrian Future Movement calls on all Syrians, both inside and outside the country, to be part of the solution by adopting environmentally friendly practices, participating in awareness campaigns, and working on rebuilding Syria in a way that respects the environment and ensures its sustainability.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that protecting the environment is not a choice, but rather a moral and humanitarian duty, and a collective responsibility that falls on all of us.
Let us make Earth Day a starting point towards a brighter future for Syria and the entire world.
