World Environment Day 2012

The World Environment Day is observed every year on the 5th of June.  This day is special because it is the occasion when the United Nations (UN) creates a worldwide awareness of preserving the environment. 

World Environment Day is the day for global action and resolution toward keeping the environment healthy for one and all. There are campaigns, processions and parades to make this day eventful where special importance is given to tree-planting and clean-up campaigns so as to create an eco-friendly environment. 


The United Nations Environment Programme focuses on creating a cleaner and greener environment. Under this initiative, activities are carried out throughout the year. However, World Environment Day is the occasion when the activities reach the climax. The UN has been taking special initiatives and observing this day since 1972. 

Theme of the World Environment Day 2012


The World Environment Day 2012 theme is Forests: Nature at Your Service. The purpose of this theme is to see that special importance is given to forests by different countries. In fact, this is the reason why the United Nations has declared 2012 as the International Year of Forests.
