Each year, in support of UNEP World Environment Day (June 5), the United Nations Association of Australia recognises innovative and outstanding environmental programs and initiatives from across Australia and the important work of Australian environmental leaders through its World Environment Day Awards program.
The UNAA actively promotes United Nations World Environment Day through its annual national World Environment Day Awards program.
The annual national World Environment Day Awards program invites nominations from individuals, organisations, businesses, local councils, schools, journalists and community groups whose work serves to protect, manage or restore our natural heritage.
The preeminent national awards program plays an important role in raising awareness about key environmental issues and challenges, and inspiring and motivating individuals, organisations and businesses to take positive steps towards sustainability and environmental excellence in their homes, schools, communities and workplaces.
In 2012, the Awards will be held in support of the International Year of Sustainable Energy for all and UNEP World Environment Day 2012 'Green Economy: Does it include you?'.
Nominations for the 2012 World Environment Day Awards are now open. Entry Criteria and Nominations Forms are available here.
For further information, please contact the UNAA Victoria office on (03) 9670 7878 or via email.
