The 8th World Environmental Education Day, is approaching! It will be celebrated on 14 October,

The World Environmental Education Day was established on October 14th in order to celebrate the first intergovernmental conference on environmental education held in Tbilisi (Georgia) from October 14th to 26th 1977.

On October 14th, 1977, the United Nations Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education, organized by UNESCO and UNEP, opened in Tbilisi (Georgia’s capital), and ended on October 26th with a statement of great relevance still today.

Now, for the whole month of October, during the World Environmental Education Day educational institutions, environmental organizations, parks, museums and many other entities dedicate special events to raise public awareness of the importance of environmental education.

Are you ready to participate?

Everyone is invited to organise special events to highlight the importance of developing educational actions to build transversal skills; to focus on the complexity of the challenges in a world where everything is interconnected; to affect perception of the human relationship with the environment, to affect attitudes and therefore individual and collective behaviours; to make people protagonists of a change towards more environmentally friendly and equitable societies.

The event is coordinated by the global network of environmental educators, who meet every two years in the sector conferences known as WEEC, World Environmental Education Congress. These congresses offer a unique opportunity for experts to share best practices, discuss emerging challenges and strengthen global collaboration in environmental education. The next WEEC Congress will be held in Perth (Australia) in 2026.
