Sustainability Calendar — What’s Happening in March 2021
Helping you to plan climate and sustainability action in March
Welcome to my monthly overview of what’s happening on the Sustainability Calendar. As always the full year-long calendar can be found here.
Overview
It seems everything happens in March; certainly, you’ll find as we move towards the summer months the calendar gets more crowded. Maybe it’s because the weather is nicer (at least here in the UK). For those of you in the southern hemisphere, sorry. I guess the calendar is driven by us in the north.
World Wildlife Day & International Day of Forests
The first thing I want to draw your attention to is UN World Wildlife Day, on Wednesday, 3rd of March. This day celebrates the diversity of the planet’s fauna and flora and is used to raise awareness about the issues facing them. This year the theme is “Forests and Livelihoods: Sustaining People and Planet”, which ties in nicely with one of our other days this month: International Day of Forests on Sunday, 21st March. Both days place a particular focus on the importance of forests in sustaining life both locally and on a more global scale.
