‘Your Planet Needs You’- World Environment Day – June 5th

World Environment Day is recognised as an important part of the school calendar.

World Environment Day (WED) was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.
Each year a theme is set by the country which hosts the day.
This year’s theme is ‘Your Planet Needs You’ .
With the emphasis on combatting Climate Change, the UN has released a Fact Sheet with information on how each one of us can help.
The CMIS Theme pages have a number of related topics which can be used in the classroom, including Climate Change, Sustainable Development, Sanitation, Sustainable Schools Project, Threatened Species and Frogs.
The Department of Environment and Conservation is holding special biodiversity and conservation activities at two of their centre – Hills and Henderson, for students in Yrs 4-7.
