When is World Environment Day celebrated, Why is World Environment Day important?

World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5th every year. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 during the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. The first celebration was held in 1974. This day serves as a global platform to raise awareness and promote action for the protection of our environment.

World Environment Day plays a vital role in bringing attention to urgent environmental issues such as air and water pollution, climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. It is important because it helps:

• Educate people about the environmental challenges we face.
• Encourage governments to create eco-friendly policies and laws.
• Promote global cooperation for a cleaner, greener future.
• Inspire individuals and communities to adopt sustainable habits like recycling, reducing waste, and conserving energy.
  This day is a reminder that our planet’s health is directly linked to our own well-being, and if we protect nature, we protect ourselves and future generations.
