In the speech of the Women's Network for Climate Action, the network's coordinator and liaison officer, Engineer Dina Al-Shahrour, explained the importance of the role of young men and women in facing climate change, noting that protecting the environment begins with simple daily practices that may seem limited in impact, but make a real difference when they turn into a community culture.
Al-Shahrour said: "Just as small emissions accumulate and affect our climate, our positive actions also accumulate and create change."
She pointed out that this activity comes as a continuation of the activities carried out by the network in the West Irbid area, explaining that the network is working within an initiative to plant a thousand trees in each district, with the aim of enhancing environmental sustainability and involving youth and local communities in planting and caring for trees themselves, which ensures the continuity of the impact of these initiatives and enhances future environmental awareness.
The tree-planting process was preceded by an environmental awareness lecture organized by the "Kufr Yuba Cultural Forum" and the "Shumou' Al-Farah Charitable Society" in cooperation with the Directorate of Environment Protection / Irbid, and the Irbid Governorate Directorate of Culture, under the title: "Preserving Public Places, School Yards, and Public Facilities," which targeted age groups in the primary stage. In this context, the head of the Kufr Yuba Cultural Forum, Mr. Samir Radaideh, emphasized the importance of volunteering and maintaining the cleanliness of public places, stressing the forum's support and its continuation in implementing environmental and community initiatives.
The event concluded with the participation of attendees, youth, and volunteers in planting forest trees around the sports complex, confirming the importance of collective action in protecting the environment and enhancing green spaces, and consolidating values of belonging and responsibility towards society and the nation.
