5253 - greener place

HAPPY WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 2015.

Once again UNEP seeks to make the biggest global call and mobilization for action on 5 June, World Environment Day (WED).

 

The theme for 2015 is how the well-being of humanity, the environment and economies ultimately depends on the responsible management of the planet’s natural resources. Evidence is building that people are consuming far more natural resources than what the planet can sustainably provide.

 

Many of the Earth’s ecosystems are nearing critical tipping points of depletion or irreversible change, pushed by high population growth and economic development. By 2050, if current consumption and production patterns remain the same and with a rising population expected to reach 9.6 billion, we will need three planets to sustain our way of life. Living well within planetary boundaries is the most promising strategy for ensuring a healthy future.

Let us make our world a greener place

 

Celebrate World Environment Day this 5 June! Every Year. Everywhere. Everyone.
