January 26th is Environmental Education
January 26th is Environmental Education Day, with the aim of promoting awareness of the importance of environmental education for the preservation of the planet and for sustainable development. The date was established with the intention of reinforcing the role of education in the formation of citizens who are aware and engaged in environmental issues, helping to create solutions to global challenges such as climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss.
The celebration of World Environmental Education Day dates back to the International Conference on Environmental Education, held in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1977. During this event, fundamental principles and objectives for environmental education were discussed, which went on to be adopted in several countries around the world. Since then, the date has been used as an opportunity to raise awareness among the population about the urgency of sustainable practices in all aspects of daily life.
