On the occasion of the silver jubilee of the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict, which falls on November 6th each year, the Kuwaiti Society for Environmental Protection called for the commemoration of this international occasion in cultural centers, museums, and national galleries. This would preserve the historical memory of the State of Kuwait and its role in drawing the international community's attention to the effects of wars and armed conflicts on the environment and natural resources, and would educate future generations about the importance of environmental protection as an integral part of protecting human beings and their right to security, stability, and development. Dr. Wajdan Al-Aqab, President of the Kuwaiti Society for Environmental Protection, emphasized in a press statement today that "the passage of twenty-five years since the United Nations General Assembly adopted this day in 2001 represents an important occasion to recall Kuwait's role in this issue, especially in light of the harsh experience Kuwait endured as a result of the Iraqi invasion and the widespread environmental damage it caused, most notably the burning of oil wells, oil pollution, and the damage inflicted on terrestrial and marine environments and natural resources." Dr. Al-Aqab further noted... Al-Aqab added that \u201cdocumenting this experience should not be limited to records and reports, but should be transformed into permanent cultural and educational content that links Kuwait\u2019s environmental history with its role in supporting international efforts to protect the environment from the effects of wars.\u201d She noted that \u201cthe Chairperson of the Board, Dr. Wajdan Al-Aqab, accompanied by the head of the environmental engineers team and its official spokesperson, Engineer Yousef Al-Ramzi, met with the working team formed at Kuwait Oil Company responsible for the Ahmed Al-Jaber Oil and Gas Exhibition in Ahmadi. This team, comprised of team leader Najla Mubarak and members Dhari Al-Ali, Maryam Al-Haroun, and Sarah Al-Basili, met to finalize preparations and agree on the nature and details of the film material to be presented. The exhibition will be a gift to the State of Kuwait for the upcoming celebration on November 6th, as part of Kuwait\u2019s preparations to celebrate the silver jubilee of this international event.\u201d The head of the Kuwaiti Society for Environmental Protection praised the Kuwait Oil Company's (KOC) approval to include a special exhibit dedicated to the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict within the Ahmed Al-Jaber Oil and Gas Exhibition in Ahmadi. She considered this a pioneering initiative in documenting the occasion and highlighting its historical and environmental dimensions. The exhibit will present visitors with the story of the International Day, its objectives, and Kuwait's role in drawing attention to the issue of environmental protection during wars. It will also highlight the lessons learned from Kuwait's environmental experience and the global message it conveys about the dangers of targeting natural resources and the environment during conflicts. She explained that including this exhibit will make the Ahmed Al-Jaber Oil and Gas Exhibition the first exhibition in Kuwait, and the first of its kind globally, to dedicate a permanent exhibit to documenting November 6th, thus giving the Kuwaiti initiative a cultural and historical dimension that transcends the annual commemoration of the occasion. She emphasized that choosing an exhibition linked to the history of the Kuwaiti oil sector carries special significance, as oil was one of the most prominent natural resources that suffered destruction during the Iraqi invasion, and images of burning Kuwaiti oil wells became one of the most prominent global examples of the extent of the damage that wars can inflict on the environment. The statement called on \u201ccultural and scientific institutions, museums, galleries, and visitor centers in the State of Kuwait to adopt similar initiatives, so that November 6th becomes part of the national environmental memory, and so that new generations have the opportunity to learn about the role Kuwait played in transforming the issue of environmental protection during conflicts from a painful national experience into an international message calling for the protection of natural resources and not considering the environment a silent victim of wars.\u201d Dr. Al-Aqab stated that \u201cdocumenting Kuwaiti initiatives within national institutions represents an extension of Kuwait\u2019s international role and ensures that these contributions remain present in the collective memory of future generations.\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
