The concept of World Environment Day emerged from the 1972 United Nations conference in Stockholm that aimed at human interaction with the environment. This global event marked the beginning of global environmental negotiations. The first festival on “Only One Earth” took place in 1974 that emphasised the need for sustainable development and the preservation of our planet.<\/p>\n

Over the years, World Environment Day has grown into a global platform for public outreach with more than 150 countries participating in it. Each year the day\u2019s celebrations are based on a specific environmental theme and host countries lead the celebrations by hosting events and activities that engage the global community.<\/p>\n
