The
World Environment Day is a reminder to all the citizens of the earth
to sit back and think about the planet earth and preserve it for the
future generation. The World Environment Day(WED),
an initiative by the United nations environment program was started
on 5th June in 1972 to identify problems related to
environmental hazards and take corrective measures. That was the year
when the
United Nations Conference on the Human Environment came into being.
In 1973, WED was first celebrated to tackle the environmental ills
like the environmental governance, disasters and conflicts,climate
change, hazardous substances, global warming and management of
Eco-system, biodiversity and resource efficiency. Since then 5th
June came into being to be known as the world environment day.
The
World Environment Day invites people from all the walks of life to
come forward and do their bit to save the planet and understand their
responsibility to ensure a greener and cleaner place to live in for
the future generations to come. It has received wide support from
public, non profit organizations and governments from across the
world.
Each
year different cities play host to World Environment day, with a
complete new theme. The Environment week kicks off from 5th
of June. This year Brazil will play the host to the event with a new
theme of Green Economy. As the name suggests, the idea green
economy is about public and private investment aimed at curbing
carbon emissions and pollution, boosting energy and resource
efficiency, and promoting balance in ecosystem and preventing loss of
biodiversity.
So
on this World Environment Day, let the world go green with small
individual efforts from everyone on this earth.
