WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

CELEBRATE THE BIGGEST DAY FOR POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION

WHAT IS WED?

 

A PLATFORM FOR ACTION

World Environment Day (WED) is the United Nations’ most important day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the protection of our environment. Since it began in 1974, it has grown to become a global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated in over 100 countries.

 

THE PEOPLE’S DAY

Above all, WED serves as the ‘people’s day’ for doing something to take care of the Earth or become an agent of change. That ‘something’ can be focused locally, nationally or globally; it can be a solo action or involve a crowd – everyone is free to choose.
