To mark these events, a range of awareness activities including art, debate, and slogan competitions, seminars, and industry-related programmes will be held at over 100 educational institutions across Dhaka and other districts.

Tree fairs and sapling distribution drives will take place nationwide, complemented by public outreach campaigns such as SMS messaging, banner displays, and participatory events to encourage widespread environmental engagement.
