The Sunshine Coast Environmental Council (SCEC) is excited to announce that their award-winning signature event World Environment Day Festival returns to the region with a month-long program of events in June.
The theme for the festival is Only One Earth and calls for transformational changes to address the climate and ecological crises.
There are 18 events in June with tree plantings, cultural workshops, live music and lots of family friendly activities hosted by a range of environmental community groups and organisations.
“Last year’s festival was a huge success and we had the honour of receiving the 2021 Partnerships for Landcare Award at the Queensland Landcare Awards,“ WED festival coordinator Natalie Frost said.
“This year we are excited to create bespoke experiences for people to nurture the environment and take collective action to protect wildlife.“
World Environment Day is celebrated internationally on 5 June and is the biggest international day for the environment.
Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and held annually since 1974, the event has grown to be the largest global platform for environmental outreach.
SCEC has been hosting World Environment Day Festival since 1980.
World Environmental Day Festival is proudly supported by the Sunshine Coast Council’s Grant program.
