World Environment Day - 5 June, 2020

World Environment Day is the most renowned day for environmental action. Since 1974, it has been celebrated every year on 5 June; engaging citizens to focus their efforts on a pressing environmental issue.

In 2020, the theme is biodiversity–a concern that is both urgent and existential. Recent events, from bushfires in Brazil, the United States and Australia to locust infestations across East Africa–and now, a global disease pandemic–demonstrate the interdependence of humans and the webs of life in which they exist. Nature is sending us a message. 

Above all, World Environment Day offers a global platform for inspiring positive change. It recognizes that global change requires a global community.  It pushes for individuals to think about the way they consume; for educators to inspire students to live in harmony with the Earth; and for youth to become fierce gatekeepers of a green future.  It requires all of us.

On this environment day let us all come together and raise awareness that our environment is very fragile and indispensable. We should always take care of it.
