AMAZONAS, BRAZIL - World Environment Day is celebrated every year on June 5 with the aim of promoting environmental protection and preservation activities.
The date serves as a global reminder of the dangers of neglecting the responsibility of caring for the planet we live on.
Each year, the United Nations designates a specific theme for World Environment Day. This initiative is meant to inspire actions and raise public awareness about the importance of protecting the environment.
June 5 was chosen in reference to the opening day of the Stockholm Conference in 1972, which brought together governments and NGOs from around the world to discuss environmental issues.
Since then, the date has been part of the official UN calendar as World Environment Day.
This day is a crucial opportunity to raise awareness about the need to preserve natural resources. It also encourages reflection on the environmental impacts of human activity, especially given the growing number of ecological challenges faced in recent decades.
