World Environment Day 2017 being Marked Today

Islamabad(June 05, 2017): A World Environment Day 2017 is being marked today. Where Environmental pollution is increasing  day by day and pushing world into global warming, Pakistan is also stepping forward in to the list of the countries affected by Climate changes .

World Environment Day is the biggest annual event for positive environmental action and takes place every year on June 5, with this year’s host country Canada at the centre of celebrations around the planet.

“We can enjoy nature year-round but World Environment Day is when the whole world comes together to celebrate our beautiful planet,” said Erik Solheim, the head of UN Environment.

The day is for everyone, everywhere. Since it began in 1972, global citizens have organised thousands of events from neighbourhood clean-ups, to action against the illegal trade in wildlife to replanting forests.

“It reminds us of what a treasure nature is and encourages us all to protect and appreciate our environment.”

The UN Environment and the government of Canada are calling on citizens all over the world to think about how we depend on nature and to find fun and exciting ways to experience and cherish that vital relationship.

Among the distractions of modern life, connections with nature can be fleeting. But with your help, World Environment Day can make clearer than ever that we need harmony between humanity and nature so that both are able to thrive.
