World Environment Day (WED) is a day that stimulates awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and public action. It is on 5 June. It was the day that United Nations Conference on the Human Environment began.
The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment was from 5-16 June 1972. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972.
The first World Environment Day was on 1973. World Environment Day is hosted every year by a different city with a different theme and is commemorated with an international exposition on the week that 5 June is on. World Environment Day is in summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
1972年6月5日在瑞典首都斯德哥爾摩召開了《聯(lián)合國(guó)人類環(huán)境會(huì)議》,會(huì)議通過了《人類環(huán)境宣言》,并提出將每年的6月5日定為“世界環(huán)境日”。同年10月,第27屆聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)通過決議接受了該建議。世界環(huán)境日的確立,反映了世界各國(guó)人民對(duì)環(huán)境問題的認(rèn)識(shí)和態(tài)度,表達(dá)了我們?nèi)祟悓?duì)美好環(huán)境的向往和追求。
世界環(huán)境日,是聯(lián)合國(guó)促進(jìn)全球環(huán)境意識(shí)、提高政府對(duì)環(huán)境問題的注意并采取行動(dòng)的主要媒介之一。
聯(lián)合國(guó)系統(tǒng)和各國(guó)政府每年都在6月5日的這一天開展各項(xiàng)活動(dòng)來宣傳與強(qiáng)調(diào)保護(hù)和改善人類環(huán)境的重要性。
聯(lián)合國(guó)環(huán)境規(guī)劃署每年6月5日選擇一個(gè)成員國(guó)舉行“世界環(huán)境日”紀(jì)念活動(dòng),發(fā)表《環(huán)境現(xiàn)狀的年度報(bào)告書》及表彰“全球500佳”,并根據(jù)當(dāng)年的世界主要環(huán)境問題及環(huán)境熱點(diǎn),有針對(duì)性地制定每年的“世界環(huán)境日”主題。
世界環(huán)境日的意義在于提醒全世界注意地球狀況和人類活動(dòng)對(duì)環(huán)境的危害。要求聯(lián)合國(guó)系統(tǒng)和各國(guó)政府在這一天開展各種活動(dòng)來強(qiáng)調(diào)保護(hù)和改善人類環(huán)境的重要性。
