The Eco World Public Union supports the EU’s Zero Pollution Action Plan and joins the Green Week policy, which is based on the European Green Agreement, scheduled for spring 2021. Eco Alem Public Union held the second event on June 5, 2021 in Absheron National Park in accordance with the action plan. During the event, “eco-volunteering” was promoted, an eco-tour was organized in the park, and young volunteers were informed about the environment. Volunteers also joined a cleanup in the coastal areas. On the shores of the Caspian Sea, they helped the staff to collect waste brought by the wind from the sea and dumped in the coastal area of the park.
Environmental issues were the focus of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in Stockholm on June 5, 1972. Taking into account the severity of the problem, the need to expand environmental awareness among the population, the importance of paying attention to environmental issues, the participants decided to mark June 5 as “World Environment Day” and from next year the day will be celebrated around the world.
