The 24th cycle of the Clean UAE campaign, organised by the Emirates Environmental Group (EEG) under the patronage of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, commenced its nationwide journey in Dubai with exceptional vigour-setting an electrifying tone for what promises to be one of the campaign's most compelling editions to date.

The much-anticipated launch ignited widespread enthusiasm across the community, strengthened by the strong presence of institutional partners and volunteers who came together with a shared sense of purpose to advance the UAE's environmental aspirations.

The overall atmosphere was celebratory, perfectly befitting the "Year of Community," reflecting unity, commitment, and collective pride.

This landmark national campaign will travel across all seven Emirates and culminate on 16th December in Abu Dhabi the capital, reaffirming its role as a cornerstone of environmental action in the country.

In dynamic partnership with Dubai Municipality, the opening event took place on Saturday, 6th December 2025, drawing an impressive 8,500 dedicated participants.

United by a common goal, the participants assembled in the Bur Ruwayyah area before dispersing across multiple designated zones, collectively covering over 12 kilometres of natural terrain. Their spirited efforts resulted in the efficient collection, sorting and redirection of significant quantities of waste to recycling facilities-creating immediate, measurable environmental impact and reinforcing the transformative power of collective action.
