World Environment Day Awards

10th Anniversary, 2009

The 5th of June is World Environment Day. Each year on this designated day, the UNAA seeks to focus world attention on the environment, and in particular, on positive programs that work towards protecting or restoring the world's natural heritage. The UNAA actively promotes World Environment Day through the United Nations Association of Australia World Environment Day Awards. 2009 marks the 10th Anniversary of these important Awards, which began in 2000 to mark Australia hosting World Environment Day in Adelaide.
