In general, in light of the increasing environmental challenges facing the planet, the green digital economy has become an urgent necessity for achieving sustainable development and preserving the planet.
The Arab Federation for Digital Economy, one of the most prominent supporters of the green digital transformation in the Arab region and the world, pays increasing and continuous attention to World Earth Day and seeks to promote this major goal through a wide range of initiatives and programs that contribute to achieving a more sustainable and environmentally friendly digital economy.
