World Environment Day

In 1972 The UN General Assembly declared June 5 World Environment Day. The date of this World Day was chosen in commemoration of the work of the Stockholm Commission, the concern of the human environmental problems. In its decision, the General Commission calls on States and UN organizations to organize annual events that will endorse their commitment to the protection and improvement of the environment. This holiday has become one of the important holidays of the international ecological calendar and is celebrated every year in more than 100 countries. At the 27th session of the General Assembly, a new organization was set up in the United Nations system, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).

Nikoghosyan  in Shengavit  district  will present an exhibition by a headline”Colors tell about nature”, depict cartoons dedicated to the environment, and little pasters will draw with chalks in the yard of the State Museum of Nature of  Armenia.
