June 5th is known as World Environment Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about preserving and protecting our environment. The origins of this day can be traced back to 1972 when Stockholm, Sweden hosted the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. This conference led to the formation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on June 15th. The UN General Assembly designated June 5th as World Environment Day to celebrate this important occasion.The first Environment Day slogan was “Only One Earth” when the day was first celebrated on 5th June 1973. This global platform grows yearly and involves millions of people contributing to save our planet. 2023 marks the 50-year completion of WED (World Environment Day). The theme was ‘BeatPlasticPollution’ to promote a safer and greener environment.
