World Environment Day


World Environment Day

 Awareness on environmental issues increases in the minds of the people.  June 5 is celebrated as "World Environment Day"
 Delegates from around the world gathered in Stockholm on June 14 to commit to the preservation of the environment.  Issued a declaration for the preservation of the environment.  As part of this, the United Nations  June 8 is set to be celebrated as "World Environment Day".

 Awareness on the issue of environment increases in the minds of the people - every year with the aim of making people participate in the work of environmental protection.  June 7 is World Environment Day.  Goals are set, various programs are held.


 The conservation of nature in the world was first started by Emperor Ashoka in the third century before Jesus.  Acknowledging the importance of nature - the rules for controlling and protecting wildlife hunting also came into being during this time.  Which is found in the inscription today.

The United Nations has chosen a theme for the organization of programs on Environment Day.  As a result of which the life system of the common man is improved and the threats to the environment are reduced.  Preservation of environment can be done only with abundant rainfall, greenery of forest, clean air, control of catastrophic floods, maintenance of proper groundwater table, adequate amount of fodder for livestock, adequate amount of timber for vanilla industries, availability of employment, conservation of natural elements.  Prevent air, water, soil and noise pollution from occurring in our environment and prevent damage to the environment by such pollutants.

The protection of the environment has become a matter of concern for every country.  There have been active efforts at the international level for the protection and promotion of the environment.  Antarctica's Environmental Protection Protocol, Biodiversity Treaty, Oceanic Biological and Fisheries Resources Treaty, Protocol to Prevent Different Polluted Air Spreads, Agreement on Whaling Hunting Regulations  Many such global agreements exist.  Environmental problems like greenhouse effect, global warming, climate change are global problems.  The impact of any local environmental problem that the place does not have enough.  The effects are large and largely long-lasting.  The book "Convenient Action" written by Chief Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi on climate change makes it clear how sensitive we are to the environment.

We have reached the highest peaks of progress and development.  At the heart of our pride is the lion's share of the natural diversity that our state has received.  If we think about achieving the pride of having the longest coastline in the country, it can be seen that it is because of the long coastline that the diverse coastal systems of the state have come into existence.  The brackish desert region, the Dhansia plains and the Bhambra water areas enrich the various ecosystems, enriching the biodiversity of the state.  Due to rivers like Mahi and Tapi draining the forest areas of the eastern belt of Gujarat, Central Gujarat and South Gujarat are at the forefront of agricultural products and income in the state.  The contribution of Narmada river to the happiness and prosperity of Gujarat is not insignificant.  Today, Gujarat is truly becoming golden through the waters of Narmada.

 The state has a wide variety of flora and fauna as a result of diverse state ecosystems such as beaches, deserts, large rivers, Dhasia plains, Aravalli-Sahyadri-Satpuda hills, Cherna forests.  As a result, the state is home to some of the world's rarest mammals, such as lions, reptiles, marine life and flora.  If we want to keep Gujarat at the forefront of the path of continuous progress, we must all learn to protect and preserve the environment.  Development will be possible only if the environmental resources are clean, healthy and sustainable.  The people of Gujarat are wise and understanding.  Non-violence is our life mantra.  Nature love is the culture here.
 It will be necessary to use unconventional energy sources with limited use of natural resources to avoid existing environmental problems such as global warming and climate change.  Being a state with such a large coastline naturally, we will be able to save the world from environmental problems by using wind energy, generating electricity from windmills and preventing pollution from being spread in the atmosphere by coal or nuclear energy.  In addition, as the Tropic of Cancer passes through our state, solar energy can be obtained in large quantities.  We have prioritized the goal of getting electricity from sunlight using the largest source of solar energy.  Gujarat is in the forefront of becoming a solar energy hub by starting to establish the world's first solar city at Charanka in Patan district.  We are committed to getting pollution free energy.  But this can be considered as an important step towards making Gujarat No. 1 in the world by making maximum efforts.  Sealing the carbon in the atmosphere by making maximum use of wood construction and furniture etc. will be useful in controlling the amount of carbon dioxide in the weather.  The "plant more trees" campaign is essential for this.

 On World Environment Day, let's take a joint resolution - which has reached the highest peaks in various fields like agriculture, industry, education.  Let's make it sustainable through conservation and promotion of natural resources.

 There is a very deep connection between our human beings and the environment.  Our life is not possible without nature.  We have to keep pace with nature.  The environment in the world is constantly being polluted, which is having a profound effect on our lives.

 World Environment Day has been celebrated since 1972.  Since then, World Environment Day has been celebrated on June 5 every year.

 World Environment Day begins in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.  In 1972, the first Environmental Conference was held in which 119 countries participated.

 This day is celebrated around the world due to increasing pollution.  The main purpose of celebrating this day is to make people aware of the environment.

 When Environment Day was celebrated for the first time in the world, the Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi expressed her concerns over the nature and environment of India.

 The Environmental Protection Act came into force on 19 November 1986 to protect the environment in India.

 Environment Day celebrated this year will be different than previous years.  Pollution has dropped significantly this year due to lockdowns.  Until last year where we were more concerned about the environment, this year our worries are a little less because the environment has become cleaner.  So this year’s Environment Day will be different than previous years.

 Lockdown has a positive impact on the environment.  Now it is our responsibility to take care of our nature.

 World Environment Day can only be successful if we take care of the environment.  Everyone should understand that life on this earth is possible only when the environment is clean.
