World Environment Day is on June 5th every year.

1972 On June 5th, the United Nations Conference on Human Environment was held in Stockholm, Sweden. The meeting adopted the Declaration on the Human Environment, and proposed to designate June 5th of each year as the "World Environment Day". In June 5438+in the same year 10, the 27th UN General Assembly adopted a resolution to accept the proposal. The establishment of World Environment Day reflects people's understanding and attitude towards environmental issues all over the world, and expresses our yearning and pursuit for a beautiful environment.

World Environment Day is one of the main media of the United Nations to promote global environmental awareness, raise the government's attention to environmental issues and take action.

The United Nations system and governments around the world will carry out various activities every June 5th to publicize and emphasize the importance of protecting and improving the human environment.

On June 5th every year, the United Nations Environment Programme selects a member country to hold a commemorative event of "World Environment Day", publishes an annual report on the state of the environment and commends the "Top 500 in the world", and formulates the annual theme of "World Environment Day" according to the world's major environmental problems and environmental hotspots in that year.

The significance of World Environment Day is to remind the world of the state of the earth and the harm of human activities to the environment. The United Nations system and governments are required to carry out various activities on this day, emphasizing the importance of protecting and improving the human environment.

The United Nations Environment Programme publishes the theme of World Environment Day at the beginning of each year and the annual report on the state of the environment in World Environment Day every year. During this period, the State Environmental Protection Administration of China issued a bulletin on the environmental situation in China.

From June 5th, 65438 to June 5th, 0985, China began to hold activities to commemorate World Environment Day with the theme of "Youth Population and Environment". Since then, every year on June 5, commemorative activities will be held all over the country. From 65438 to 0993, Beijing was chosen as the city to hold celebrations with the theme of "breaking the cycle of poverty and environment".

The origin of World Environment Day

1972 From June 5th to June 6th, 16, the United Nations held a conference on human environment in Stockholm, Sweden. This is the first conference in human history to study and protect the human environment in the world. The meeting was attended by 1 13 countries, with more than 1300 participants. In addition to the government delegation, there are also folk scientists and scholars. The meeting discussed the environmental problems in the contemporary world and formulated countermeasures and measures. Before the meeting, Morris, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment? Husband? Entrust 152 celebrities from 58 countries to form a large Committee, which is composed of Rene? As the leader of the expert advisory group, Dr. Dubos drafted an informal report for the meeting-there is only one earth. This meeting put forward a global environmental slogan: there is only one earth! After 12 days of discussion and exchange, the famous Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment and the Action Plan for Protecting the Global Environment proposed in 109 were formed and published, calling on governments and people of all countries to make joint efforts to safeguard and improve the human environment for the benefit of all people and future generations.

The Declaration on the Human Environment puts forward seven common viewpoints and 26 common principles to guide and encourage people all over the world to protect and improve the human environment. The Declaration on the Human Environment stipulates human rights and obligations to the environment); Calling for "protecting and improving the environment for this generation and future generations has become an urgent goal of mankind"; "This goal will be achieved in harmony with the two established basic goals of striving for peace and economic and social development all over the world"; Governments and people of all countries are working hard to maintain and improve the human environment for the benefit of all people and future generations. The meeting suggested that the opening day of this meeting should be "World Environment Day".

1972 10 10 In October, the 27th General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the recommendation of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, and designated June 5th every year as the "World Environment Day", so that people all over the world would remember it forever.

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was established with its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya. According to the Nairobi Declaration on the Role and Mandate of the United Nations Environment Programme adopted by the Governing Council of the United Nations Environment Programme at its 19 session held in February 1997, the main tasks of the United Nations Environment Programme are:

1. Use the best available scientific and technological capabilities to analyze the global environmental situation, evaluate global and regional environmental trends, provide policy advice, provide early warning of various environmental threats, and promote and promote international cooperation and action;

2. Promote and formulate international environmental laws aimed at achieving sustainable development, including establishing coordinated links among existing international conventions;

3. Promote agreed actions to address emerging environmental challenges;

4. Make use of UNEP's comparative advantages and scientific and technological expertise to strengthen the coordination of environmental activities in the United Nations system and strengthen its role as an executing agency of the Global Environment Facility;

5. Raise people's environmental awareness, promote effective cooperation among actors at all levels involved in the implementation of the international environmental agenda, and play an effective liaison role between national and international scientific decision makers;

6. Provide policy and advisory services to governments and other relevant institutions in important areas of environmental institution building.

The members of the Governing Council of the United Nations Environment Programme are composed of 58 countries elected by the United Nations General Assembly for a term of three years. Among them, Africa/KOOC-0/6 seats, Asia/KOOC-0/3 seats, 6 seats in Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean/KOOC-0/0 seats, and Western European and other countries/KOOC-0/3 seats. China has been a member of the Governing Council of the United Nations Environment Programme since its establishment.

World Environment Day: The consequences of melting glaciers are worrying.

June 5th is World Environment Day. The United Nations Environment Programme has set the theme of World Environment Day in 2007 as "Melting glaciers, worrying consequences".

The earth is the home of human existence. In order to raise people's awareness of environmental protection, the United Nations held the first conference on human environment in Stockholm, Sweden on June 5, 1972, and adopted the famous Declaration on Human Environment and the Action Plan for Protecting the Global Environment. In June+10 of the same year, the 27th General Assembly decided to establish the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on the recommendation of Stockholm Conference, and officially designated June 5th as "World Environment Day". Since 1974, the United Nations Environment Programme has established a theme for World Environment Day every year and carried out related publicity activities.

With the intensification of human activities, a large number of greenhouse gas emissions lead to the continuous rise of the earth's temperature. According to the data provided by the United Nations Environment Programme, since the industrial revolution in the middle of the18th century, the global average temperature has increased by 0.75 degrees Celsius.

Global warming causes glaciers to melt, ice sheets to shrink and ice shelves to break. German researchers pointed out that there are still about 654.38+600 million glaciers in the world, and they are melting rapidly. For example, the area of glaciers in the European Alps is reduced by one third and the volume is reduced by half compared with1in the middle of the 9 th century; Since 19 12, the glaciers on Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, have shrunk by 80%. Glacier melting makes the frozen soil in the above areas lose its "adhesive" function, leading to frequent landslides and mudslides.

In addition, meteorological observations have found that in the past few decades, the permanent sea ice in the Arctic has been decreasing, and glaciers and frozen soil are melting. According to the analysis of satellite images, experts from the European Space Agency found that in the summer of 2006, about 5% to 10% of permafrost from northern Europe to the Arctic Ocean began to loosen and melt. In addition, in recent ten years, the three major ice shelves in Antarctica have collapsed, the glacier activities without the support of ice shelves have obviously accelerated, and the ice layer has also become thinner.

Melting glaciers will lead to rising sea levels, and low-lying islands and coastal cities will be in danger of being submerged. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a climate assessment report, pointing out that if the global average temperature rises for thousands of years according to the current situation, it will eventually lead to the complete melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which will lead to a sea level rise of about 7 meters. What is even more frightening is that if the Antarctic ice sheet melts completely, the global sea level will rise by 60 meters, and the disaster caused to the earth will be devastating.

Global warming is an important factor leading to the melting of glaciers. All countries in the world have a common obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but developed countries should play a greater role, take the lead in committing to emission reduction obligations, help developing countries cope with climate change, fundamentally reverse the global warming trend and protect the common home of mankind.

In view of this theme, combined with the central task and key work of environmental protection in China, it shows the determination and actions of the government and people of China to reduce pollutant emissions and build an environment-friendly society.

In the 11th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development, China Municipal Government put forward the goal of reducing the total discharge of major pollutants by 10%, and decomposed this binding index layer by layer, and implemented it to governments at all levels and related industries. At present, governments at all levels attach great importance to it, and their efforts have obviously increased, and the guiding role of binding indicators has begun to appear. Promoting pollution reduction and building an environment-friendly society is the common responsibility of the whole society, which requires not only the efforts of governments at all levels and relevant departments, but also the active support of the broadest masses of the people and the active participation of the broadest social forces. The theme of "reducing pollution and building an environment-friendly society" is set as the theme of this year's World Environment Day in China, aiming at increasing publicity, encouraging public participation, giving full play to the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of all sectors of society, and making reducing pollutant emissions and getting along with the environment become the conscious action of every unit, enterprise and social member.

World Environment Day: What can save you, my earth?

On April 2, 2007, in order to promote the use of bicycles in Mexico City, Mexico City Mayor Marcelo? Evras took the lead in cycling to work. The extensive use of automobiles is an important reason for the massive emission of greenhouse gases.

On the evening of March 3, 2007, the main light of Sydney Opera House in Australia went out. At 9: 30 that night/kloc-0, tens of thousands of businesses and residents in Sydney collectively cut off power for one hour to draw people's attention to global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

On February 27th, 2007, Dave, an electrical salesman in Sydney, Australia? Ehret is holding an old incandescent light bulb and a new energy-saving light bulb. Because new energy-saving lamps can save more resources, the government advocates replacing old incandescent bulbs with them.

June 65438+10/October 65438+February 2006, a row of wind turbines stood in a valley 407 kilometers northeast of Lisbon, Portugal. Wind energy is a renewable and pollution-free clean energy. At present, many countries in the world have commercialized it as a mature clean energy, which is known as "green power".

On June 15, 2006, two Greenpeace members held a banner in the waters near the Spanish Balearic Islands, which read, "Where have all the tuna gone?" And dive into the water to appeal to people to pay attention to and protect the increasingly scarce tuna.

On February 14, 2007, in Puerto Princesa, Philippines, newly-married couples who had just attended a group wedding walked by the saplings they planted on the beach. It was Valentine's Day, and an environmental protection collective wedding attended by hundreds of new couples was held here. The new people planted mangroves on the beach.

On May 30th, 2007, the new "Noah's Ark" built by volunteers stood on Ararat Mountain. It makes people think deeply: if we continue to destroy the earth, who can save mankind when the ultimate disaster comes?

Environmental degradation, sudden climate change, melting glaciers and rising sea levels ... these are not only problems that a few people should worry about, but the home of the earth is closely related to each of us. In today's increasingly serious environmental problems, should we stop and think about what else we can do to save the earth and ourselves?
