    World Environment Day 2019 – “Air Pollution”


    History of World Environment Day:-
    World Environment Day (also called as WED) has been started celebrating as an annual event on every 5th of June
    since 1973 in order to raise the global awareness about the importance of the healthy and green environment in the
    human lives, to solve the environmental issues by implementing some positive environmental actions as well as to
    make aware common public worldwide that everyone is responsible for saving his environment and not only somebody,
    government or organizations working for it.
    World Environment Day is the United Nations’ most important day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for
    the protection of our environment. Each World Environment Day is organized around a theme that focuses attention on
    a particularly pressing environmental concern. Theme for this year is “Air Pollution”. This Year China is the global host
    of 2019 World Environment Day which will take place on June 5, 2019

    “Beat Air Pollution”, World Environment Day 2019 will urge


    governments, industry, communities, and individuals to
    improve air quality in cities and regions across the world by
    putting in place solutions across a wide range of sectors.
    Approximately 7 million people worldwide die prematurely each
    year from air pollution, with about 4 million of these deaths
