Follow us for more: @OBHMagazine and Linkedin.com Earth Day action This year's Earth Day (April 22 2022) has the theme: Invest In Our Planet and calls on businesses to put their weight behind change. Private sector innovation accelerates the kind of rapid change we need for the climate like nothing else. Studies also show it makes business sense as there is a direct correlation between sustainable business practices, share prices, and business performance. Companies with strong Environment Social Governance (ESG) standards have better profitability, stronger financials, happier employees, and more resilient stock performance.

The United Nation's annual World Environment Day (June 5 2022) will be held under the theme Only One Earth. The UN’s flagship day for promoting worldwide awareness and action for the environment, this event has become the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people across the world. Hosted by Sweden for 2022 the day will highlight the need to live sustainably in harmony with nature by bringing transformative changes – through policies and our choices – towards cleaner, greener lifestyles. @UNEP #OnlyOneEarth
The first-ever Middle East and North Africa Climate Week was held in Dubai (March 28-31) positioned as a major climate action event for the MENA region. It provided a platform for governments, cities, private sector leaders, financial institutions and civil society to discuss opportunities to build forward from the pandemic by identifying opportunities to enhance climate action. The event brought together key stakeholders to take the pulse of climate action in the region, explore climate challenges and opportunities, and showcase ambitious solutions. #MENAClimateWeek
