History of World Environment day!

The United Nations (UN) named 5 June as international World Environment Day at the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment in 1972. The aim was to draw attention to the many problems that are facing our environment. They wanted to include as many people, organisations and governments, both local and national, as possible.

Since 1974 the WED has been hosted by 34 different cities in 25 different countries around the world, from Cuba to Korea, from Belgium to Brazil.
