About World Environment Day 2007
World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.

The World Environment Day slogan selected for 2007 is Melting Ice – a Hot Topic? In support of International Polar Year, the WED theme selected for 2007 focuses on the effects that climate change is having on polar ecosystems and communities, and the ensuing consequences around the world.

Participation in Perth
To mark World Environment Day 2007, the REmida Perth Centre will organize an event for the local community in Forrest Place. The event will be the culmination of a process of creative collaboration between school children, tertiary students and teachers from diverse backgrounds, as supported by environmental organizations. It will showcase learning initiatives that will focus on global warming and associated cultural issues.
