World Environment Day (WED) is observed annually on 5 June. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) following the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment (5–16 June 1972). First celebrated in 1973, it is the UN's principal vehicle for encouraging global awareness and action for the environment. Each year features a different theme and host country. The day mobilises governments, businesses, celebrities, and the public to address issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and land degradation.
