World Environment Day, established by the United Nations in 1972 and first celebrated in 1974, is observed annually on June 5th to promote environmental awareness and action. The 2026 theme focuses on climate action, hosted by Azerbaijan. Key environmental concepts include the Montreal Protocol for ozone layer protection, the Green Belt Movement initiated by Wangari Maathai, and the Chipko movement for forest conservation. Sustainable practices like hydroponics, solar energy, and organic farming contribute to environmental protection. The Amazon rainforest is known as the 'lungs of the earth' due to its role in oxygen production and carbon absorption.
