20,000 children die daily from hunger
The theme for this year's World Environment Day celebrations is "Think, Eat, Save." World Environment Day has been observed since June 5, 1972.
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), every year 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted. At the same time, one in every seven people in the world go to bed hungry, and more than 20,000 children under the age of five die daily from hunger.
World Environment Day is one of the main mechanisms through which the United Nations stimulates global awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action.
