November 6th
November 6th is the Day for the Prevention of Environmental Exploitation in Wars and Armed Conflicts . This date was created to raise awareness about the devastating impacts that wars and armed conflicts have on the environment and to promote actions that prevent environmental exploitation in contexts of violence. The origin of the day dates back to a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, approved in 2001, which aimed to draw attention to environmental degradation resulting from armed conflicts. The central idea is to recognize that, in situations of war, natural resources are often exploited irresponsibly, leading to the devastation of ecosystems, pollution and loss of biodiversity.
