International Mother Earth Day

Mother Earth is clearly urging a call to action. Nature is suffering. Extreme Heat, wildfires and floods, have affected millions of people. Mother Earth Day is on April 22nd. Even these days, we are still trying to get back on track from COVID-19 a worldwide health pandemic linked to the health of our ecosystem. This is the second Mother Earth Day celebrated within the UN Decade On Ecosystem Restoration. For this International Mother Earth Day, let’s remind ourselves – now more than ever – that we need a shift to a more sustainable economy that works for both people and the planet. The United Nations celebrates this observance through the Harmony with Nature initiative, a platform for global sustainable development that celebrates annually an interactive dialogue on International Mother Earth Day. Topics include methods for promoting a holistic approach to harmony with nature, and an exchange of national experiences regarding criteria and indicators to measure sustainable development in harmony with nature.
