June 5 -World Environment Dia - Ambiente e Boas Praticas
In the 1970s, the world was facing increasingly evident problems related to air, water and soil pollution, the disorderly growth of cities, the degradation of natural resources and the impacts of accelerated industrialization.
On 5 June 1972, the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment began in Stockholm, Sweden, becoming the first conference to be exclusively dedicated to the environment.
This date came to be celebrated as World Environment Day.
The conference brought environmental debate into the international arena and produced the Declaration on the Human Environment, whose principles constituted the first non-binding international legislation on environmental matters.
It was also during this conference that the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was established.
These factors further encouraged the adoption of environmental legislation at the national level, as well as the development and adoption of a series of international environmental treaties.
Furthermore, the opening date of the conference, 5 June, was later chosen by the United Nations to celebrate World Environment Day, which is commemorated annually around the world. This celebration seeks to raise awareness among governments, businesses and citizens about the importance of preserving ecosystems, biodiversity and natural resources for present and future generations.
On this date, people are encouraged to reflect on ways of acting at the local level so that more sustainable approaches to development can be implemented globally.
These approaches should make it possible to improve environmental quality and, consequently, the quality of life of present and future generations.
In Angola, activities focused on environmental education and awareness are organised on this date to promote the sharing of information about the benefits of adopting sustainable lifestyles.
