Our land. Our future.

All over the world, ecosystems are threatened. From forests and drylands to farmlands and lakes, natural spaces on which humanity’s existence depends are reaching a tipping point.

According to the  UN Convention to Combat Desertification , up to 40 per cent of the planet’s land is degraded, directly affecting half of the world’s population. The number and duration of  droughts  has increased by 29 per cent since 2000 – without urgent action, droughts may affect over three-quarters of the world's population by 2050.

Land restoration is a key pillar of the  UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration  (2021-2030), a rallying call for the protection and revival of ecosystems all around the world, which is critical to achieve the  Sustainable Development Goals .

This is why  World Environment Day  2024 focuses on land restoration, halting desertification and building drought resilience under the slogan “Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration.”  We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils. We are the generation that can make peace with land.

2024 will mark the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification. The sixteenth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 16) to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) will be held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, from 2 to 13 December 2024.

#OnlyOneEarth Practical Guide

UNEP has published a practical guide outlining some of the collective, transformative actions that governments, cities, businesses, organizations and individuals can take to protect and restore our planet.

What is World Environment Day?

Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and held annually on 5 June since 1973, World Environment Day is the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people across the world. In 2024, it is hosted by Saudi Arabia.

Why take part?

Time is running out, and nature is in emergency mode. To keep global warming below 1.5°C this century, we must halve annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Without action, exposure to air pollution beyond safe guidelines will increase by 50 per cent within the decade and plastic waste flowing into aquatic ecosystems will nearly triple by 2040.

We need urgent action to address these pressing issues.

2020 has been referred to as a "Nature Super Year" and must be the year where we turn the tide on deforestation and forestry loss. Secretary-General's Message

A moment of truth for climate action

As climate records are shattered, and emissions continue to rise, the UN Secretary-General will set out some hard-hitting truths about the state of the climate, the grotesque risks leaders are taking, and what companies and countries – particularly the G7 and the G20 – need to do over the next eighteen months to salvage humanity’s chances of a livable future.

Follow  here  on World Environment Day (5 June), at 10 AM EDT.

Did you know?

• Every five seconds, the equivalent of one football pitch of soil is eroded. Yet, it takes 1,000 years to generate 3 centimeters of topsoil.
• Trees in urban areas can cool the air by up to 5°C, reducing air conditioning needs by 25 per cent.
• Lakes, rivers and wetlands hold 20–30 per cent of global carbon despite occupying only 5–8 per cent of its land surface.

You can access more interesting information, the actions you can carry out to contribute, as well as a large number of materials to promote the movement through social media. Every performance, no matter how small, matters.

A practical guide to healing the planet

The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration focuses on eight major types of ecosystems that we have dangerously degraded. Each can be restored by reducing the pressures they face and with on-the-ground action to speed their recovery. Read all about the challenges and opportunities for each ecosystem in the scientific flagship report and the  Ecosystem Restoration Playbook.

How does land degradation impact climate change?

Land  plays a key role in the climate system  as an essential carbon sink because its surfaces, such as forests, regulate the planet’s temperature and help to store carbon. But our land is under increasing pressure from deforestation, urbanization, industrial development, agricultural expansion and unsustainable farming practices. The good news is that there are ways to improve land degradation.  Read more about climate change .

World Environment Day

The United Nations designated 5 June as World Environment Day to highlight that the protection and health of the environment is a major issue, which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world. The celebration of this day provides us with an opportunity to broaden the basis for an enlightened opinion and responsible conduct by individuals, enterprises and communities in preserving and enhancing the environment. 

The theme of the 2024 World Environment Day is “ land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience .”

As we mark World Environment Day and World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, UNESCO is calling for a renewed commitment to life in all its forms. Our Organization's commitment can be summed up in three verbs: alert, promote and restore.

Designation of this Day

The year 1972 marked a turning point in the development of international environmental politics, with the first major conference on environmental issues, known as the  Conference on the Human Environment , or the Stockholm Conference. Later that year, on 15 December, the General Assembly adopted a resolution ( A/RES/2994 (XXVII) ) designating June 5 as World Environment Day and urging "Governments and the organizations in the United Nations system to undertake on that day every year world-wide activities reaffirming their concern for the preservation and enhancement of the environment, with a view to deepening environmental awareness."

World Environment Day, held annually on 5 June, brings together millions of people from across the globe, engaging them in the effort to protect and restore the Earth.

The community.

World Environment Day is a global platform for inspiring positive change. People from more than 150 countries participate in this United Nations international day, which celebrates environmental action and the power of governments, businesses and individuals to create a more sustainable world.

The event has been led by the United Nations Environment Programme ( UNEP ) since its inception in 1973.

On June 5, 1973, the world first celebrated World Environment Day. The date was chosen by the United Nations to honor the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment , a landmark summit in conservation and environmental awareness.

The UN calls World Environment Day “the biggest day for positive environmental action.” It is a day for public outreach as well as personal responsibility—an “opportunity to care for the Earth and become agents of change.”

Every year, World Environment Day is hosted by a different city or region , with a different theme. Kigali, Rwanda, hosted the 2010 World Environment Day, with the theme “Many Species. One Planet. One Future.” In 2018, India hosted World Environment Day, with the theme "Beat Plastic Pollution."

Students for Justice in Palestine plans 'day of action,' vows 'intifada' will continue

by JACKSON WALKER | The National Desk

WASHINGTON (TND) — Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is calling for a national “day of action” to take place on U.S. college campuses on Thursday.

Organizers wrote via Instagram last week the day is designed to send a “back to school” message to campus leaders. The group promised in the post "the student intifada" will continue until divestment demands are met.

SJP called for students to show “resounding courage, unfettered determination, and resurgence in the political demands that continue to guide our organization.”

“Our universities have done everything in their power to ignore and redirect our demands for divestment, dodging accountability by suspending and surveilling students,” the group wrote. “Administrators far and wide have chosen to unleash police violence on students rather than end complicity in the Zionist occupation."

"However, our admins repression will not succeed — we, the student movement for Palestinian freedom, will continue to organize our campuses, building with our student body, our faculty, and our staff, to construct a mass movement sustained by people power, to actually push our universities to divest," it concluded.

A highlights tab on the group’s Instagram profile title “Sept 12” includes a fire emoji. The tab shows different SJP chapters promoting the "day of action" and includes Arabic rap and pop music playing in the background.

SJP has continuously called for action on U.S. college campuses amid the Israel-Hamas war, with one chapter openly condoning an “armed rebellion” at the University of North Carolina ahead of the school’s first day of classes.

“It is violently oppressive to passively observe violence, whether in Palestine, here, or anywhere in the world,” an Instagram post by the group read. “We condone all forms of principled action, including armed rebellion, necessary to stop Israel’s genocide and apartheid and to dismantle imperialism and capitalism more broadly.”

Columbia University in 2023 suspended its campus chapter of SJP and Jewish Voices for Peace (JVP) for repeated violations of university policies. Under the suspension, the two groups were cut off from university funding and not allowed to hold campus events.

Record-breaking World Environment Day spotlights land restoration, desertification and drought resilience

Riyadh, 05 June 2024 – With a focus on restoring degraded lands, combatting desertification and building drought resilience, countries around the world came together today to mark World Environment Day 2024, under the rallying call ‘Our Land. Our Future. We are #Generation Restoration’.  

On the biggest calendar moment for environmental action, the official celebrations hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia marked the second time in more than 50 years that World Environment Day has been hosted in the West Asia region. Faced with more severe and prolonged droughts, sandstorms and rising temperatures, the region is seeing deserts expand, fresh water sources evaporate, and fertile soils erode.      World Environment Day 2024 registered a record-breaking number of events – 3657 and counting at the time of launch – held by governments, cities, civil society, universities and schools, and businesses spanning the globe. Activities ranged from high-level events in Riyadh to week-long festivities in South America, from zoo celebrations in Europe and Asia to soil restoration labs for children in Africa, from posters dotting transport hubs to the largest mural in North America, and from film screenings to video messages from celebrities and space agency NASA . Tens of millions of people joined the online global conversation, with #WorldEnvironmentDay trending above blockbuster movies and global politics on social media, amplifying the global rally to restore the land that humanity and countless other species depend on for survival.  

“Today, we’re pushing planetary boundaries to the brink – shattering global temperature records and reaping the whirlwind”, said António Guterres the UN Secretary-General in a special address on climate action at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. “And it’s a travesty of climate justice that those least responsible for the crisis are hardest hit: the poorest people; the most vulnerable countries; Indigenous Peoples; women and girls,” he added. 

Up to 40 per cent of the world’s land is already degraded, directly affecting half of humanity, and an estimated 3.2 billion people worldwide are negatively impacted by desertification. By 2050, more than three-quarters of the world’s population is expected to be affected by droughts.   

This World Environment Day aims to support accelerated progress on global commitments, which include protecting 30 per cent of land and sea for nature and restoring 30 percent of the planet’s degraded ecosystems. While countries have promised to restore one billion hectares of land by 2030, current trends suggest 1.5 billion hectares would need to be restored to meet the 2030 land degradation neutrality goals.      Saudi Arabia has announced environmental sustainability goals to help tackle the challenges of drought, desertification and land degradation, including a pledge to plant 50 billion trees across the region through the  Saudi Green Initiative and Middle East Green Initiative . On World Environment Day, the government celebrated its land restoration efforts and announced greater support and funding for private and philanthropic organisations working on environmental issues. Further, Saudi Arabia confirmed the country is on track to meet the global land degradation neutrality target by 2030.

“In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, great efforts have been made to restore lands and limit degradation, including with the Saudi Green Initiative and the Middle East Initiative, but also to promote regional cooperation to reduce land degradation, conserve vegetation, enhance biodiversity and food security,” said Abdulrahman Abdulmohsen Al-Fadley, Saudi Minister for Environment, Water and Agriculture. 

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to improve vegetation cover and combat desertification through the Saudi Green Initiative and national strategy will enable the country to reach its land degradation neutrality goal by 2030,” he added.

Addressing government officials and industry leaders at the Riyadh event, UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen stressed the need for urgent action to make the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration goals a reality by 2030. 

“Billions across the world are facing food insecurity, crippling droughts, and livelihoods are under threat. That is why on World Environment Day we’re asking the world to join the global movement to restore our lands, increase drought resilience and combat desertification,” said Executive Director Andersen. “Restoration is the natural solution to help address the triple planetary crisis, deliver new jobs, lower poverty and build resilience to extreme weather. Land is life – and we must protect it,” she added.  

On World Environment Day, six new cities stretching from Africa to Latin America joined UNEP’s Generation Restoration Cities . Collectively, these urban areas – representing 45 million inhabitants, 2.1 million hectares of land and 600 kilometres of waterways – are now seeking to replicate and scale up ecosystem restoration initiatives using nature-based solutions .  

Championing the 2030 Agenda to move the world onto a sustainable and resilient path and joining forces to protect people and planet, World Environment Day 2024 builds momentum for climate action by rallying support for vital ecosystems restoration work.    

Saudi Arabia has partnered with the Group of 20 nations and United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) on the G20 Global Land Initiative , which aims to cut degradation by 50 per cent by 2040. In December, the country will the sixteenth session of the Conference of the Parties ( COP16 ) of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). This will be the first time the region has hosted this meeting, which is widely seen as a pivotal moment in the global effort to end land degradation.
