World Food Day
2025-10-16
World Food Day is annually held on October 16 to commemorate the founding of the United Nations’ (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Each year has a different theme.
Background
At the FAO’s 20th session in Rome, Italy, in November 1979 the conference called for the observance of World Food Day on October 16, 1981, and on the same date each year. The UN General Assembly ratified this decision on December 5, 1980, and urged governments and international, national and local organizations to contribute to observing World Food Day. World Food Day has been held each year since 1981.

Arab Environment Day
2025-10-14
Arab Environment Day is celebrated annually on October 14 to raise awareness and protect the environment in Arab countries. It was established in 1986 following a meeting of Arab Ministers in Tunisia, which also created the Council of Arab Ministers Responsible for the Environment (Camre) to promote regional environmental cooperation. The day serves as a reminder for Arab nations to address environmental issues like climate change and desertification through collective action and sustainable practices.
Origin and Purpose
Tunisian Meeting: The day originated from a 1986 meeting in Tunisia where Arab environment ministers established Camre to enhance cooperation on environmental matters.
Regional Awareness: October 14 was chosen as the day to commemorate this crucial decision and foster cooperation on environmental challenges within the Arab world.
Themes: Each year, activities focus on specific themes, such as reducing single-use plastics, promoting a “paperless” day, or focusing on the impact of electronic waste.
