Every year on June 5th, the globe unites under the banner of World Environment Day to promote environmental awareness and action. Established in 1974 by the United Nations, this day serves as a global platform for public outreach and is celebrated in over 100 countries. The event has grown to become one of the principal vehicles through which the UN stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action. As we embrace this year’s theme, it’s an opportunity to reflect on how we, as individuals and communities, can contribute to sustaining a greener planet.
