UN DAY: World Environment Day

The United Nations has designated 2021 as the International Year of Peace and Trust.

In order to motivate people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development; promote the fundamental role of communities in changing attitudes towards environmental issues, and to promote cooperation for environmentally sustainable products and processes, the General Assembly of the United Nations, in its resolution of 15 December 1972, proclaimed June 5 as World Environment Day.

World Environment Day (WED) was established in 1972 but first held in 1974, which shows that concern about the environment goes back several decades at least. 143 countries take part in World Environment Day, and the day focuses on environmental concerns ranging from pollution to global warming and sustainable food production to protection of wildlife.
