World Environment Day 2021: ‘Reimagine. Recreate.Restore.’

by Public Health Update
written by Public Health Update

Overview

The World Environment Day is celebrated on 5 June to raise awareness and generate political momentum around growing concerns, such as the depletion of the ozone layer, toxic chemicals, desertification and global warming. The Day has developed into a global platform for taking action on urgent environmental issues. Millions of people have taken part over the years, helping drive change in our consumption habits, as well as in national and international environmental policy.

Theme:“Reimagine. Recreate.Restore.”

The emergence of COVID-19 has also shown just how disastrous the consequences of ecosystem loss can be. By shrinking the area of natural habitat for animals, we have created ideal conditions for pathogens – including coronaviruses – to spread.

With this big and challenging picture, the World Environment Day is focus in the ecosystem restoration and its theme is “Reimagine. Recreate.Restore.”

World Environment Day 2021 calls for urgent action to revive our damaged ecosystems. 

TOGETHER WE CAN BE #GENERATIONRESTORATION
