How is our future tied to the health of our environment?
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and UN Habitat publish materials to educate the public on the status of our planet and ecosystems to help shape policy toward reaching sustainable development goals.
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)'s quarterly magazine Our Planet features authoritative articles on the themes of environment and development by world scientific and political leaders. Each issue of Our Planet concentrates on a specific theme, tying into international conferences, meetings (the Commission on Sustainable Development), events (World Environment Day), or dealing with issues of our time (Water or Climate Change). Find these magazines undercall number Government Docs UNEP Ou 7.
What is World Environment Day?
Since 1974, World Environment Day has been celebrated every year on 5 June, engaging governments, businesses and citizens in an effort to address pressing environmental issues.
World Environment Day has developed into a global platform for raising awareness and taking action on urgent issues from marine pollution and global warming to sustainable consumption and wildlife crime. Millions of people have taken part over the years, helping drive change in our consumption habits as well as in national and international environmental policy.
