International Mother Earth Day is celebrated on 22 April all over the world. Upon Bolivia's initiative, this day was declared at the 63th session of the UN General Assembly on 22 April 2009. International Mother Earth Day reminds each of us that the Earth and its ecosystems provide us with life and sustenance. It also recognizes a collective responsibility to promote harmony with nature and the Earth to achieve a just balance among the economic, social and environmental needs of present and future generations of humanity. The theme for 2017 is "Environmental & Climate Literacy".
In this regard, the UN states, ' Education is the foundation for progress. We need to build a global citizenry fluent in the concepts of climate change and aware of its unprecedented threat to our planet. We need to empower everyone with the knowledge to inspire action in defense of environmental protection.'
