The Mandate
In 1972 UN General Assembly decided to commemorate each year World Environment Day on June 5, as one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action designed to (a) Give a human face to environmental issues (b) Empower people to become active partners of sustainable and equitable development (c) Promote understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues; and (d) Advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and people enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.
The Agenda
The effort of the UN General Assembly directly calling for people’s active participation in ensuring a cleaner environment invigorated the masses to understand the importance of playing their part in the global tirade against pollution of air, water and soil/ land uniquely known as the Environment.
Environmental pollution takes place through changes in energy patterns, radiation level, chemical and physical constitutions and abundance of organisms and is of six types (1) air (2) water (3) soil/land (4) thermal (5) radiation, and (6) noise.
The Handicaps
The earth is over crowded with innumerable inhabitants who consume natural resources and create wastes causing a negative impact on the environment due to pollution leading to a situation of the whole environment / climate becoming inhabitable.
Increase in population and rapid industrialization leads to deterioration of quality of air. Coupled with traffic congestion during peak hours, hydrocarbons and toxic chemical emitted by motor vehicles have resulted in Air pollution.
