International Mother Earth Day
April 22 · Level 10 · #215 of 2238
International Mother Earth Day highlights the connection between human wellbeing and the planet’s living systems. This UN observance encourages people to consider the forests, water, soil and wildlife that support everyday life.
How it is celebrated: communities organise cleanups, tree planting, environmental lessons and public campaigns. Schools and museums explore practical ways to reduce waste, conserve water and protect habitats.
The Paris Agreement on climate change opened for signature on this day in 2016. It received signatures from 175 parties on that first day: 174 countries and the European Union.
