World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment, and enhances political attention and action.
The theme for World Environment Day 2006 is “Deserts and desertification” and the slogan is “Don’t Desert Drylands!” The slogan emphasizes the importance of protecting drylands, which cover more than 40% of the planet’s surface. This ecosystem is home to one-third of the world’s people who are more vulnerable members of society.
