In 1972, the United Nations organized the first environmental conference of countries around the world in Stockholm (Sweden) on the problem of environmental pollution. In this, 119 countries participated and for the first time accepted the principle of one earth.

In this conference, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) was born and it was decided to make citizens aware of the problem of pollution by organizing Environment Day on 5 June every year. And its main objective was to awaken political consciousness and inspire the general public by bringing awareness to the environment.

Environment Conference The then Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi gave a lecture on the topic ‘The deteriorating state of the environment and its impact on the future of the world’. This was India’s initial step towards environmental protection. Since then we have been celebrating World Environment Day every year on 5th June.
