Lejla Fil-Park Marks Launch Of Malta’s Sustainable Development Action Days 2026

Lejla fil-Park returned for its fifth edition at Park ta’ San Klement in Ħaż-Żabbar, marking the launch of Malta’s Sustainable Development Action Days 2026 under the theme ‘From Ideas to Impact’.

Organised by the Sustainable Development Directorate, the event brought together families, voluntary organisations, sports associations, government entities, and members of the public for an evening focused on sustainability, community engagement, and outdoor recreation.

The event featured a range of educational, cultural, and interactive activities, including sports demonstrations, children’s activities, environmental awareness initiatives, and information stands highlighting sustainable practices and community services.

Minister for Energy, the Environment and the Regeneration of the Grand Harbour Miriam Dalli welcomed the continued success of Lejla fil-Park and the strong public participation it attracts each year.

“Lejla fil-Park continues to demonstrate how sustainability can be brought closer to the community through enjoyable and inclusive activities. By encouraging people to make use of our green spaces and learn more about sustainable living, we are fostering greater environmental awareness and strengthening our collective commitment towards a better future for all,” Minister Dalli said.

Director General for Sustainable Development Francine Pace Caruana highlighted the importance of initiatives such as Lejla fil-Park in promoting awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals and encouraging public participation.

She said the event reflects the theme of Malta’s Sustainable Development Action Days 2026 by showing how communities, organisations, and individuals can turn ideas into meaningful actions that contribute to a more sustainable future.

Malta’s Sustainable Development Action Days 2026 forms part of the European Sustainable Development Week, a Europe-wide initiative promoting activities and projects that support sustainable development.

Running between 18 September and 8 October 2026, the initiative includes events organised by government entities, NGOs, businesses, local councils, educational institutions, and community groups across Malta and Gozo.

Through its programme of activities, the initiative aims to highlight how sustainable ideas can be transformed into practical actions with a positive impact on society and the environment.
