Manama: stc Bahrain, a world-class digital enabler, successfully concluded the first phase of its “Trees for Life” campaign in collaboration with Supreme Council for Environment, and the Ministry of Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture.

stc Bahrain planted 35,000 trees across the Kingdom, reaching 25% of Bahrain’s target. Bahrain is greener and looks forward to planting an additional 50,000 trees during the next phase.

The campaign aims to support the Kingdom’s national afforestation plans to double the number of trees in Bahrain from 1.8 to 3.6 million trees by 2035, as part of its commitment to implement sustainable development initiatives in the Kingdom. 

The Trees for Life campaign, launched in 2021, pledges stc Bahrain and its partners to promote environmental awareness and air quality enhancement while reducing desertification and addressing increasingly high temperatures. The campaign is in line with the government’s vision to achieve net zero by 2060 by implementing green initiatives that mitigate climate change and achieve carbon neutrality through public-private partnerships.

Dr. Mohamed bin Mubarak bin Daina, Minister of Oil and Environment, Special Envoy for Climate Affairs, stressed the importance of the “Trees for Life” campaign as a vital environmental and climate collaboration between government institutions and the private sector in
