Every year on 5 June, the world unites for World Environment Day – an urgent global call to protect the planet. Observed across more than 150 countries, it stands as the largest international platform dedicated to raising awareness and sparking action for the environment .

Why we celebrate world environment day on 5th June? 

June 5th is celebrated as Environment Day because it commemorates the start of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1972. This landmark event, considered the world's first environmental summit, brought together government officials, scientists, and environmental activists to discuss the growing concerns about environmental degradation. The UN General Assembly later designated June 5th as World Environment Day.
