World Environment Day is celebrated every year on June 5. It is the United Nation's principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of our environment.

It was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 on the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. 

Reportedly, in 1987, the idea for rotating the center of these activities through selecting different host countries began. This year, the theme happens to be 'Beat Plastic Pollution' and the host nation is India.
