‘Our land, our future. We are Generation Restoration’
World Environment Day, celebrated every year on 5 June, is a global initiative established by the United Nations in 1972 to promote global environmental awareness and action.
In 2024, the Day focuses on the restoration of ecosystems and the fight against desertification and drought, with the slogan ‘Our Earth. Our future. We are GenerationRestoration’.
