“World exhaustion”, climate change, environmental pollution: What humanity consumes is too much. What it produces harms. These are disturbing scenarios that climate experts predict for our planet. This circumstance is pointed out every year on April 22: More than 175 countries and hundreds of organizations and companies take part in the international “World Earth Day” with special actions to focus on sustainability and environmental protection. The day is curated by the Earth Day Network. In 2009, the United Nations even declared April 22 “International Mother Earth Day”.“.
“Invest in our planet”
The theme this year is sustainable investment in our planet. “Invest in our planet” is the motto, which can be interpreted in a wide variety of ways. The change should happen comprehensively: not only the environmental context is meant, the need for a change in the political and economic climate should also be the focus.
