|
The following is a summary of the major environmental events for March and April 2010.
World Water Day (March 22): The overall goal of this campaign is to raise the profile of water quality at the political level so that water quality considerations are made alongside those of water quantity. Human and environmental health, drinking and agricultural water supplies for the present and future are at stake. UN-Water has chosen Clean Water for a Healthy World as theme for World Water Day 2010. World Meteorological Day (March 23): This day is meant to draw attention to what can be done to provide information that allows people to take advantage of the weather and minimize its harmful effects. This year, the theme is “60 years of service for your safety and well-being”. Climate Care Day - (March 26): This day is an initiative to encourage global businesses to replace all corporate travel with remote meetings for the day. This is intended to demonstrate how simple choices can make a significant difference to the environment. It recognises the importance of the planet to both the business community and our personal wellbeing. A global sustainability movement that supports both responsible and profitable business operations. Earth Hour - (March 27): This event offers an opportunity to participate in a global demonstration of support for the environment by turning off your lights between 8:30 and 9:30 PM. A call to stand up, to show leadership and be responsible for our future. Earth Hour 2010 will continue to be a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community.
World Heritage Day - (April 18): Also known as the International Day for Monuments and Sites this day offers an opportunity to raise public awareness concerning the diversity of the world’s heritage and the efforts that are required to protect and conserve it, as well as to draw attention to its vulnerability. The theme for 2010 is agricultural heritage. Earth Day - (April 22): The mission of this event is to broaden and diversify the environmental movement worldwide, and to promote a healthy, sustainable environment.
