World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5th every year. It is an annual event established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 during the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.
World Environment Day serves as a global platform to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote action to protect and conserve the environment.
Each year, World Environment Day has a specific theme that focuses on a pressing environmental challenge.
However, in the past, themes have covered various topics such as biodiversity conservation, climate change, plastic pollution, sustainable consumption, and more.
The day is celebrated worldwide with numerous activities and events organized by governments, organizations, communities, and individuals. These activities may include tree planting campaigns, clean-up drives, environmental education programs, seminars, workshops, exhibitions, and advocacy campaigns.
The goal is to engage people from all walks of life to take action and make a positive impact on the environment.
World Environment Day serves as a reminder that environmental protection is a shared responsibility and that individuals, communities, businesses, and governments all have a role to play in safeguarding our planet for present and future generations.
It is an opportunity to reflect on our environmental footprint and commit to sustainable practices that promote the well-being of the Earth and its ecosystems.
