World Environment Day is the most renowned day for environmental action. Since 1974, it has been celebrated every year on 5 June; engaging governments, businesses, celebrities and citizens to focus their efforts on a pressing environmental issue.
THE THEME
In 2020, the theme is biodiversity–a concern that is urgent. Nature is sending us a message.
THE COMMUNITY
Above all, World Environment Day offers a global platform for inspiring positive change. It recognizes that global change requires a global community. It pushes for individuals to think about the way they consume; for businesses to develop greener models; for farmers and manufacturers to produce more sustainably; for governments to safeguard wild spaces; for educators to inspire students to live in harmony with the Earth; and for youth to become fierce gatekeepers of a green future. It requires all of us.
GOMER JUNIOR
We will be sharing a variety of activities for the children to engage in. The foods we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the climate that makes our planet habitable all come from nature. Yet, these are exceptional times in which nature is sending us a message and we will be considering:

  • To care for ourselves we must care for nature
  • It’s time to wake up. To take notice. To raise our voices
  • It’s time to build back better for People and Planet
  • This World Environment Day, it’s Time for Nature
