World Environment Day

World Environment Day

Der Weltumwelttag oder auch Tag der Umwelt ist ein Gedenktag, der am 5. Juni gefeiert wird.

Am 5. Juni 1972, dem Eröffnungstag des ersten Weltumweltgipfels in Stockholm, wurde der Weltumwelttag offiziell vom United Nations Environment Programme (Umweltprogramm der Vereinten Nationen) ausgerufen. Seitdem beteiligen sich weltweit jährlich rund 150 Staaten an diesem World Environment Day.

Aus Anlass des Weltumwelttages findet jährlich am ersten Juni-Sonntag die Fahrradsternfahrt des ADFC Berlin e.V. statt.
