World Environment Day is the biggest annual event for positive environmental action and takes place every 5 June. Its aim is to harness individual actions and transform them into a collective power that has a legacy of real and lasting impact on the planet. Over the years, it has grown to be one of the largest global platforms for public outreach celebrated by over a million people in over 100 countries.
This year’s theme is “Connecting People to Nature”.

- Over the past decade, governments in several developing countries, along with hydropower and drinking water companies and wetlands managers, have adopted ‘payments for environmental services’ schemes. What are they? Are they working? Can nature’s services be bought and sold? Find out: http://bit.ly/2qNjGIP. Connect #WithNature this #WorldEnvironmentDay

- #DYK? Trees are giant air conditioners with no power bills? Trees use solar energy to convert water into vapor, thereby cooling their surroundings. The cooling power equivalent is around 70 kWh for every 100 liter of water transpired, similar to the output of two home air-conditioning units.
