World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enchances political attention and action. Our agenda is to give a human face to environmental issues; empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development; promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues; and advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future. World Environment Day is a people's event with colourful activities such as street rallies, bicycle parades, green concerts, essays and poster competitions in schools, tree planting, as well as recycling and clean-up campaigns.

La Journée mondiale de l'environnement a été lancée par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies en 1972 afin de marquer l'ouverture de la Conférence de Stockholm sur l'Environnement humain. Une autre résolution adoptée le même jour par l'Assemblée générale est à l'origine de la création du PNUE. La Journée mondiale de l'environnement peut-être célébrée de multiples façons, y compris des marches, des défilés à vélo, des concerts, des concours de rédaction et de dessin dans les écoles, des plantations d'arbres, des campagnes de recyclage et de nettoyage et bien d'autres activités encore. Dans de nombreux pays, cet événement est un occasion pour promouvoir l'intérêt et l'action au niveau politique. Ce jour là, des chefs d'États, des premiers ministres et de ministres de l'environnement prononcent des discours dans lesquels ils s'engagent à agir pour la sauvegarde de notre Terre. Des engagements visant l'établissement de structures gouvernementales permanentes destinées à la gestion et à la planification économique de l'environnement sont pris officiellement.
