World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. Another resolution, adopted by the General Assembly the same day, led to the creation of UNEP.
World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles to stimulate worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.
The World Environment Day slogan selected for 2009 is 'Your Planet Needs You! UNite to Combat Climate Change' . The main international celebrations of the World Environment Day 2009 will be held in
Mexico.
