World Environment Day 2022

Published 5 June 2022

The theme for World Environment Day 2022 is ‘Only One Earth’. 

‘Only One Earth’ was the slogan used at the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in 1972. It was this conference that led to the establishment of World Environment Day as we now know it. Fifty years on, the message is more relevant than ever for a global community living beyond its means through greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity decline and non-sustainable resource use. 

The mission of the EIANZ is to connect and support environmental practitioners to promote a sustainable future. The work of our members is diverse, but all share the same passion and commitment towards promoting environmental knowledge and awareness and advancing ethical and competent environmental practice.

We all need to rise to the challenge and play our part to protect the one earth we have. It is up to all of us to push for transformative actions that can reset the balance between people and the natural world. It is up to all of us to create a better future.
