The Power of Restoration

World Environment Day is the biggest international day for the environment. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and held annually since 1973, it has grown to be the largest global platform for environmental outreach. It is celebrated by millions of people across the world.

World Environment Day, on 5th June each year, is a significant global event led by the United Nations to raise awareness and promote action for the environment. In 2024, the focus is on improving land quality, stopping desert expansion, and increasing resistance to droughts. Approximately 40% of the Earth's land is degraded, affecting around 3.2 billion people globally due to desertification. By 2050, over three-quarters of the world's population may face droughts. The main idea is the urgent need to restore ecosystems to address climate change, protect endangered species, and ensure a sustainable future.
