Celebrated every year on 5 June, World Environment Day seeks to inspire awareness and action on environmental challenges facing the world.

Organised under the leadership of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the event has become a major international platform promoting environmental responsibility.

Its origins date back to the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm in 1972, a landmark gathering that brought environmental concerns into mainstream global policymaking.

The first official World Environment Day observance followed in 1973.

PM Modi also stressed that environmental conservation requires participation at every level of society. He pointed out that everyday actions such as reducing waste, conserving resources, embracing sustainable lifestyles, and protecting natural habitats can collectively create a lasting positive impact on the planet.
