SUMMARY:International Day of Clean Air for blue skies
DESCRIPTION:September 7 is one of the memorable dates of the United Nations\, which is called the International Day of Clean Air for blue skies. In 2020\, it was celebrated for the first time. \nIt is no secret that the problem of environmental pollution has long been included in the number of global problems of our time. Human activity and progress\, unfortunately\, have always had a downside\, expressed in the violation of the ecological balance. In addition to the depletion of natural resources\, human activity was accompanied by pollution of various areas of the environment: water\, air\, soil. Pollution\, ultimately\, many modern environmental scientists attribute to the factors that have a serious impact on climate change on the planet. \nThe memorable date of September 7\, established by Resolution (A/RES/74/212) of the UN General Assembly of December 19\, 2019\, is intended to draw the attention of all countries of the world to the problem of air pollution.

SUMMARY:World Soil Day 5 December
DESCRIPTION:Photo:M/Adobe Stock (AI generated)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHealthy Soils for Healthy Cities\nOur planet’s survival depends on the precious link with soil. Over 95 percent of our food comes from soils. Besides\, they supply 15 of the 18 naturally occurring chemical elements essential to plants. \nHowever\, in the face of climate change and human activity\, our soils are being degraded. Erosion disrupts the natural balance\, reducing water infiltration and availability for all forms of life\, and decreasing the level of vitamins and nutrients in food. \nSustainable soil management practices\, reduce erosion and pollution\, and enhance water infiltration and storage. They also preserve soil biodiversity\, improve fertility\, and contribute to carbon sequestration\, playing a crucial role in the fight against climate change. \nBut when we think about soil\, we almost always associate it with the countryside and nature. We rarely stop to consider that urban soil is also fundamental. \nThis World Soil Day 2025 focuses on urban landscapes with the theme “Healthy Soils for Healthy Cities.” Beneath asphalt\, buildings\, and streets lies soil that\, if permeable and vegetated\, helps absorb rainwater\, regulate temperature\, store carbon\, and improve air quality. But when it’s sealed with cement\, it loses these functions\, making cities more vulnerable to flooding\, overheating\, and pollution. \nTherefore\, this day invites everyone—from policymakers to citizens—to rethink urban spaces from the ground up\, to build greener\, more resilient\, and healthier cities. \n\n\n\n\nGet the message across!\nFAO’s website is full of initiatives and materials to raise awareness and spread the message of this observance on different platforms. Find out about a multitude of worldwide events related to the importance of healthy soils. \n\n\n\n\nBackground of a decade celebrating soils\nWorld Soil Day (WSD) is held annually on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources. \nAn international day to celebrate soil was recommended by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 2002. Under the leadership of the Kingdom of Thailand and within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership\, FAO has supported the formal establishment of WSD as a global awareness raising platform. The FAO Conference unanimously endorsed World Soil Day in June 2013 and requested its official adoption at the 68th UN General Assembly. In December 2013\, the UN General Assembly responded by designating 5 December 2014 as the first official World Soil Day.

SUMMARY:International Mountain Day
DESCRIPTION:December 11 is International Mountain Day\, established by the decision of the 57th UN General Assembly in January 2003 (resolution A/RES/57/245). \nBut it was established earlier – in 1992 at the UN Conference on Environment and Development\, when Agenda 21 was adopted\, Chapter 13 of which\, entitled “Rational use of fragile ecosystems: sustainable mountain development”\, became a milestone in the history of mountain development.
