World
Forestry Day promotes awareness of the value of forests across the
globe by providing information on the protection, production and
recreation of forests.
The idea for a world forestry
day originated at the European Confederation of Agriculture in 1971, and
was later endorsed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organisation.
The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed 21 March the
International Day of Forests. The Day will celebrate and raise
awareness of the importance of all types of forests. On each
International Day of Forests, countries are encouraged to undertake
local, national and international efforts to organize activities
involving forests and trees, such as tree planting campaigns.
Show the world how trees, forests and their surrounding environments make a difference to the community where you live.
Good management of water is especially challenging due to some of its
unique characteristics: it is unevenly distributed in time and space,
the hydrological cycle is highly complex and perturbations have multiple
effects. Rapid urbanization, pollution and climate change threaten the
resource while demands for water are increasing in order to satisfy the
needs of a growing world population, now at over seven billion people,
for food production, energy, industrial and domestic uses. Water is a
shared resource and its management needs to take into account a wide
variety of conflicting interests. This provides opportunities for
cooperation among users.
An international day
to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations
General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first
World Water Day.
Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. In 2013, in reflection of the International Year of Water Cooperation,
World Water Day is also dedicated to the theme of cooperation around
water and is coordinated by UNESCO in collaboration with UNECE and
UNDESA on behalf of UN-Water.
On the occasion of World Water Day on 22 March, celebrations and events
are taking place worldwide. People all around the world take action to
raise awareness on water issues and improve the management of our water
resources. Check what others are doing and get involved!
Each year, on 23 March, the World Meteorological Organization, its 191 Members and the worldwide meteorological community celebrate World Meteorological Day around a chosen theme. This day
commemorates the entry into force, on that date in 1950, of the WMO
Convention creating the Organization. Subsequently, in 1951, WMO was
designated a specialized agency of the United Nations System.
This year, the theme is “Watching the weather to protect life and property"
If we go through all these days we can see all of these are co related.Now all of these have a major role in our future........
So think and proceed..........
