At the precipice of large-scale climate change and environmental degradation, with climate adaptation costs rising to $500 Billion a year, United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has recalled its fifty-year long history of observations to mark World Environment Day (WED) on June 5, 2022.

With the theme #OnlyOneEarth, mirroring that of the first World Environment Day, 1974, the global community has come full circle in realising the importance of planet Earth as the singular home for mankind.
