On 31 May 2023, WHO and public health champions around the world will come together to celebrate World No Tobacco Day (WNTD). This year’s theme is “Grow food, not tobacco.
The day is celebrated to spread awareness about the harms of tobacco use. In 1987, the World Health Assembly passed a resolution calling for 7 April 1988 to be a “a world no-smoking day.” Later in 1988, another resolution was passed, calling for the celebration of World No Tobacco Day, every year on 31 May.
Theme for the World Environment Day 2023 is under the campaign #BeatPlasticPollution, ‘Ecosystem Restoration‘. It is a reminder that people’s action on plastic matters as the material is slowly seeping into our oceans, soil and forest and causing irreparable damage.
World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5 every year to raise awareness and encourage action for the protection of our planet. It was first established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972, and since then, over 150 countries participate in various activities to celebrate this day.
