Key Messages

World Environment Day, celebrated on June 5 every year, serves as a global call to action to address pressing environmental challenges. As we stand at the intersection of environmental crises, we must reflect on the state of our planet and take decisive action to safeguard our future. It is imperative for nations to step up their efforts to protect and preserve our planet. India — home to diverse ecosystems — is among the countries at the forefront of this global movement.

This day serves as a powerful reminder for us to be catalysts of change and bear the responsibility to protect our planet. The challenges we face are immense, but by embracing individual responsibility, demanding government action, and fostering collaboration and innovation, we can create positive change.

Let us use this day to drive long-term action, reclaim our future, and secure a sustainable, thriving planet. Together, we can make a difference and build a better world where both nature and humanity can flourish side by side.
