Working together to combat climate change
Earth Day is not only a symbolic commemoration, but also an important moment to advocate environmental protection and promote policy changes worldwide. Countries will hold various activities on this day, from environmental protection publicity, afforestation, garbage cleaning to proposing new environmental protection policies and goals. Earth Day provides an important opportunity for global citizens to reflect on and increase their attention to environmental issues.
On Earth Day, environmental protection activities are organized around the world, with governments, non-governmental organizations, businesses and all sectors of society participating. For example:
Green travel: Encourage the public to choose public transportation, bicycles or walking to reduce dependence on private cars, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Tree planting activities: In many countries and regions, large-scale tree planting activities are held to increase forest coverage, absorb carbon dioxide and protect ecological balance.
Garbage cleaning: Promote garbage cleaning in public areas such as beaches, forests and city streets to reduce plastic pollution.
