World Environment Day

World Environment Day is the United Nations day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment.

Since 1973, World Environment Day has developed into a global platform for raising environmental awareness and acting on urgent planetary issues.

Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), over the past five decades millions of people have taken part in World Environment Days, helping drive change and motivate national and international environmental policy. Each World Environment Day focuses on a particular theme, covering issues like marine pollution, global warming, sustainable consumption and wildlife crime.
