World Environment Day (WED) is the annually celebrated global day for positive environmental action. World Environment Day activities take place all year round but climax on 5 June every year, with global participation from the broadest possible cross-section of stakeholders. WED celebrations began in 1972 and have grown to become one of the main UN vehicles to stimulate worldwide awareness of the environment and to focus political attention and action on specific challenges and issues.
Through WED, the UN Environment Programme is able to humanize environmental issues and enable everyone to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change, in support of sustainable and equitable development. WED is also a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves and future generations.
At the heart of WED is the mobilization of the global WED community to organize activities within their organizations, companies, communities, schools and even with their families and friends to promote environmental awareness and action. This year the call for the activities will focus on the theme “Green Economy: Does It Include You?” So let’s come with SEWA & PSF to save our environment……..
