World Environment Day 2024
World Environment Day, marked annually on 5 June, was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. Over the past five decades, the Day has grown to be one of the largest global platforms for environmental outreach. Tens of millions of people participate online and through in-person activities, events and actions around the world.
Campaign led by
Health and Environment Day
As we commemorate World Environment Day on June 5th, it's imperative to acknowledge the intricate relationship between environmental health and human well-being. Factors like air and water quality, climate change, and ecosystem degradation profoundly influence public health outcomes. In response, we believe that volunteering can play a pivotal role in addressing these issues to enhance both environmental sustainability and human health, thereby promoting holistic community well-being.
