Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the day brings together millions of people in government, business, civil society, schools and celebrities engaging online and in-person to raise awareness and influence environmental action. In 2024, World Environment Day focuses on restoring land, halting desertification and building drought resilience. Up to 40 per cent of the world’s land is already degraded, while an estimated 3.2 billion people worldwide are negatively impacted by desertification, and more than three-quarters of the world’s population is expected to be affected by droughts by 2050. The message is clear, we must restore ecosystems to tackle climate change, save species from extinction and secure our future. Will you join #GenerationRestoration?
