Featured Days
International Day of Clean Energy
Clean energy plays a vital role in reducing emissions. Not only does it help to fight against climate change, but clean energy also benefits communities that lack access to reliable power sources. Renewable energy sources are in abundance all around us—they are replenished by nature and emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants.
International Day of Education
International Day of Education is an annual, international day of observance that highlights the importance of education. This day was first declared in 2019 as a special day to empower all countries to increase their education. Contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, education is not only a human right, but is essential for sustainable development.
