आज जागतिक पर्यावरण दिन आहे, मात्र 5 जुन याच दिवशी पर्यावरण दिन का
साजरा केला जातो , याचे कारण म्हणजे 1972 साली United Nations ने
Stockholm Conference On the Human Environment आयोजित
केली होती आणि हि परिषद 5 जुन ते 16 जुन या कालावधीत
आयोजित केली होती त्यामुळे 5जुन ला जागतिक पर्यावरण दिन घोषित
करण्यात आले . या परिषदे पासून जागतिक स्तरावर पर्यावरण संरक्षण हा
विषय पुढे आला आणि आगळा पर्यावरणाचे महत्व पटले
परंतु जागतिक पर्यावरण दिन हा 1974 पासून साजरा करण्यात
येऊ लागला, Word Environment Day (WED) म्हणजेच
जागतिक पर्यावरण दिन साजरा करताना प्रत्येक वर्षी एक विशिष्ट
विषय (theme ) असते ,त्यानुसार पर्यावरण दिन साजरा केला जातो .
या वर्षी च्या पर्यावरण दिनाचा विषय आहे
'Ecosystem Restoration '.
असुन या पाकिस्तान या दिवसाचा यजमान (host nation) आहे.
या मागील पाच दशकापासून जागतिक पर्यावरण दिनाच्या
निम्मिताने जगभर पर्यावरण संरक्षण साठी प्रबोधन केले जाते,
जागतिक स्तरावर अभियान राबविले जाते .खाली दिलेल्या
तक्त्यात प्रत्येक वर्षी जागतिक पर्यावरण दिनाची theme
आणि host nation ची यादी दिली आहे .
