In a time when extreme weather, unusual storms and cyclones, and natural disasters frequently serve as reminders of the irreparable harm that has been done to Mother Earth, World Environment Day 2023 offers hope and an opportunity for all of us to contribute to the protection of the environment and the wellbeing of the planet. Every year on June 5, there is a different host country and a different topic for World Environment Day. The West African nation of Côte d'Ivoire will serve as the host in 2023, together with the Netherlands.

The meeting led to the creation of the United Nations Environment Programme, a significant worldwide initiative to protect the environment. This occasion also commemorated the declaration of June 5 as World Environment Day. Since then, the UNEP has participated in several worldwide initiatives to protect the environment.
