The event was organised by the Kalba Planning and Survey Department and drew participation from across the city's government institutions, including the municipality, Kalba University, the Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA), the Roads, Works, and Planning Directorate (BEEAH), Kalba Hospital, the Housing Department, and the Sharjah Cooperative Society.

Engineer Yousef Al Hammadi, Director of the Kalba Branch at SEWA, said the authority had used the event to demonstrate what a shift away from conventional energy systems looks like in practice. Its stand focuses on a working comparison between LED lighting and traditional alternatives, showing visitors the difference in energy consumption, operational lifespan, and environmental footprint.

Paperless billing and smarter infrastructure

Also on display was SEWA's Green Bill initiative, which replaces paper invoices with electronic billing delivered by email and text message — a small but tangible step towards cutting waste and moving routine processes off paper entirely.

Visitors were also introduced to the authority's infrastructure upgrade programme, which focuses on fibre-reinforced plastic piping as a more durable and environmentally sound alternative to traditional pipe systems.

Recognition for outstanding participation

The authority's stand drew steady interest from visitors and students throughout the day. At the close of the event, SEWA was presented with a commendation for its participation.

Al Hammadi said gatherings like “Green Impact” mattered because the real work of conservation happens community by community—and no authority, however well resourced, builds a sustainable future on its own.
