The United Nations General Assembly adopted June 5 as World Environment Day in 1972 to spread awareness, preserve, and enhance the environment worldwide. Over the years, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has taken several initiatives to create awareness and protect the environment.
From initiatives aimed at protecting the planet to creating awareness regarding the depleting ozone layer and global warming, this day serves to highlight and work towards environmental concerns worldwide.
According to the United Nations (UN), almost 40% of the world's land has degraded, posing harm to half of the world's population. Natural water bodies and landscapes have turned into dry patches, resulting in droughts and deforestation.
This day is significant as protecting the environment is one of the prominent Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This year's theme for World Environment Day is 'Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience'. This theme concentrates on reviving water sources, growing forests, and improving soil quality.
On World Environment Day, make sure to send a reminder to your family, friends, and acquaintances with inspiring and motivating messages.
