World Environment Day 2015

Seven Billion Dreams.  One Planet.  Consume with Care.

World Environment Day (WED) is the biggest, most globally celebrated day for positive environmental action.

The WED theme this year is  "Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care." Living within planetary boundaries is the most promising strategy for ensuring a healthy future. We need to educate people so they realize that rising rates of natural resource use and the environmental impacts that occur are not a necessary by-product of economic growth.

To celebrate WED 2015, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe has organized a policy debate with eminent representatives of academia and international diplomacy, followed by the screening of a documentary and the opening of a cartoon exhibition.

Please join us at the Palais des Nations in Geneva in Room XIV on 5 June!
