Earth Day 2035: Global Efforts to Combat Climate Change
A Legacy of Environmental Advocacy
Earth Day, celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of April, serves as a reminder of the urgent need to protect our planet's environment. In 2035, Earth Day will fall on Sunday, April 22.
The origins of Earth Day can be traced back to a proposal by Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970. Senator Nelson recognized the growing public concern about environmental issues and proposed a day of education and action to address them.
Global Negotiations for a Plastic Treaty
This Earth Day, the focus will be on the ongoing negotiations for the United Nations Global Plastic Treaty. Governments and NGOs from around the world will gather in Ottawa to continue discussing the terms of the treaty, which aims to address the global plastic pollution crisis.
The treaty will cover a wide range of issues related to plastic production, use, and disposal. It is expected to include provisions for reducing plastic waste, promoting sustainable alternatives, and improving waste management practices.
The Global Plastic Treaty is a crucial step towards addressing the environmental challenges posed by plastic pollution. By working together, nations can create a more sustainable future for our planet.
Earth Day 2035 will be a time to reflect on the progress we have made in protecting the environment and to recommit ourselves to the fight against climate change. By working together, we can create a healthier and more sustainable future for our planet.
