Today is Earth Day 2026, this is the 56th anniversary since the first Earth Day in 1970.
Earth Day is an international day which draws attention to the environment and promotes sustainability. It is estimated that around 1 billion people globally take part in Earth Day by raising awareness through organised events and other methods of participation.
The theme for Earth Day this year is ‘Our power, our planet’ highlighting that environmental progress can’t be achieved by a single administration or election, it relies on daily actions collectively.
