Special Thanks to Dubai and UAE – CSL Supports UAE’s Zero Carbon Mission

With CSL’s growing impact as an institution, last year, the league launched an awareness campaign on climate change. The league planted 21 trees and collaborated with COP28 to educate people on the effects of climate change.

 This year, CSL is continuing its environmental efforts by collaborating with government institutions in the UAE to raise awareness and take action to address climate change.

These efforts include tree planting, reducing plastic bag usage, and other initiatives to combat environmental challenges.

“We take pride in supporting the UAE's Zero Carbon mission,” said Raja Asad Khalid. "To further this cause, we are organizing a special beach cricket tournament. This tournament will not only feature matches but also include activities for beach cleaning, raising awareness about the dangers of plastic bags, and promoting ocean conservation."

Environmental Awareness and Tree Planting Initiatives

 A key feature of CSL’s plans this season is a special beach cricket tournament that will be organized to clean the oceans and raise awareness about the risks of environmental pollution. This tournament is part of CSL’s broader environmental campaign, which also includes ongoing tree planting efforts. Last year, CSL planted 21 trees, and this year, the league is expanding its efforts, with plans to plant 32 trees in various regions of Kashmir. The goal is to emphasize environmental sustainability, especially by promoting responsible actions such as reducing plastic use and reforesting.
