Ismaili CIVIC volunteers from across the UK and European Jurisdiction Jamats demonstrated their commitment to environmental stewardship through a series of activities in commemoration of Global Ismaili CIVIC Day. Hundreds of volunteers engaged in town and park clean-ups, tree planting, and science projects, making a significant impact on their local communities and highlighting the importance of caring for our environment, a principle deeply shared by communities and countries worldwide.

In Europe, Ismaili CIVIC volunteers in Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands took proactive steps towards environmental care. In Stockholm, they partnered with Keep Sweden Tidy for park clean-ups, and similar community-driven efforts were seen in Danish and Dutch towns on World Cleanup Day. Each activity represented a significant step towards a cleaner and greener world.

Back in the UK, Ismaili CIVIC volunteers participated in a variety of initiatives, reflecting their dedication to local ecosystems. The volunteers engaged in impactful local activities such as supporting community events, tree planting, and town clean-ups, each contributing to the health and vitality of their local communities.

Among these initiatives was participation in the Natural History Museum’s Nature Overheard community science project, focusing on understanding the impact of noise pollution on biodiversity. This initiative, involving volunteers of all ages, not only contributed to vital environmental research but also strengthened our community's connection with nature.

Across various Jamats, including North London, Darkhana, Edinburgh, Sheffield, and Leicester, the diverse ways in which Ismaili CIVIC volunteers are making a difference were evident. Whether through tree planting, town clean-ups, or supporting local events, each endeavour was a humble yet meaningful contribution to the societies in which we live.

A key aspect of Ismaili CIVIC is the recognition that environmental stewardship is not just a responsibility, but a shared value across all communities and countries. The activities undertaken by Ismaili CIVIC volunteers reaffirm that by doing our part, however big or small, we contribute to ensuring a healthier planet for future generations. As we look forward to future initiatives, we remain committed to this global effort of nurturing and protecting our environment.
