International Mother Earth Day - 22 April
UN
Event details
Description
The United Nations is honouring the planet’s most ambitious, successful, and inspiring examples of large-scale ecosystem restoration, with the World Restoration Flagship award. Watch RESTORE Season 1 and 2 to learn more about the flagship initiatives awarded and see examples of how humanity can achieve the goals of the new Global Biodiversity Framework. Get inspired and join #GenerationRestoration.
This is the third Mother Earth Day celebrated within the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration: A decade to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems on every continent and in every ocean. Ecosystems support all life on Earth. The healthier our ecosystems are, the healthier the planet - and its people. Restoring our damaged ecosystems will help to end poverty, combat climate change and prevent mass extinction. But we will only succeed if everyone plays a part.
Mother Earth is clearly urging a call to action - a need to shift to a more sustainable economy that works for both people and the planet. Protecting the planet is everyone's responsibility.
