We at ACG join the world to celebrate – World Environment Day on June 5, which is the biggest international day for the environment. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and held annually since 1973, the event has grown to be the largest global platform for environmental outreach, with millions of people from across the world engaging to protect the planet.
All over the world, governments, businesses, organisations, civil society, schools, celebrities, cities and communities are encouraged to focus their efforts on the most pressing environmental issues confronting our planet. More importantly, raising awareness and celebrating environmental action.
The theme for this year’s campaign is ‘’Only One Earth’’, highlighting the impact on nature from the burning of the Brazilian rainforests, wildfires in the United States and Australia to the locust infestations across East Africa, melting glaciers and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, as civilization pushes further into nature’s territory. The campaign also calls for collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet.
