The World Environment Day is held under the slogan “Only One
Earth”, which was released by the UN this year. It marks 50 years since the
first
UN conference on the Human Environment, which was convened in Stockholm,
Sweden, in 1972.
The Stockholm Conference, as it is widely called, launched the
United Nations Environment Program and designated June 5 of each year as the
World Environment Day. The intention was to demonstrate unequivocal support for
environmental protection, including a specific day to commemorate a World Day
of Environmental Awareness for all nations.
Jordan’s Ministry of Environment is participating in the World
Environment Day celebrations to reassert the need to live sustainably in
harmony with nature by making changes to policies and choices towards cleaner
lifestyles.
The ministry’s activities include the participation of Environment
Minister
Muawieh Al-Radaideh in the Stockholm+ 50 Conference as a
representative of His Majesty King Abdullah.
Additionally, Jordan will be broadcasting environmental messages
and videos on its official website and the social media sites of the ministry’s
directorates in various governorates. Other activities include distributing
nationwide multipurpose bags, in cooperation with the
UNDP.
Radaideh
pointed out that the ministry, in partnership with national and international
institutions, undertook several steps to protect and rehabilitate the Kingdom’s
ecosystem.
