Alexandria—
The BA Planetarium Science Center will celebrate the World Environment Day at the BA, in cooperation with the Wadi Environmental Science Center and the British Council, 10-13 June 2008. The slogan for this year is "CO2, Kick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy".
Celebrated each year on 5 June, the World Environment Day is one of the vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.
It is worth mentioning that the World Environment Day celebration began in 1972 when the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) declared 5 June as the World Environment day, to mark the opening of "Stockholm Conference" on the Human Environment. On the same day, the UN General Assembly decided to establish the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
The Celebration will start at 8:00 am at the BA Plaza.
