International E-Waste Day 2024: Retrieve, Recycle and Revive

The UN reports an average production of 57.4 million tons of e-waste annually, with only 17.4% being recycled. As rapid digital growth shortens electronics’ lifespans, the urgency to address the mountain of e-waste escalates. International E-Waste Day (14 October 2024), highlights this crisis and aims to halt the cycle of e-waste ending up in landfill. This year’s theme, “Join the e-waste hunt – retrieve, recycle and revive,” stresses the importance of properly managing e-waste to recover valuable materials from unused electronics that could gain a new life.

Dry Lands, New Hopes: Make a difference this World Environment Day 2024

Ecosystems worldwide are under threat. Each year, 55 million people are directly affected by droughts, making it the most serious hazard to livestock and crops in nearly every part of the world. If land degradation remains unchecked, it could reduce global food productivity by 12%, causing food prices to soar by up to 30% by 2040, jeopardising the livelihoods of millions reliant on agriculture and grazing. World Environment Day (5 June 2024) underscores this issue, with Saudi Arabia hosting this year’s event focused on land restoration, combating desertification, and improving drought resilience.
