• D. Beat Plastic Pollution

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Only One Earth: Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature

• Correct Answer: Option A - "Reimagine. Recreate. Restore."

• World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5th, and each year has a different theme that focuses on a particular environmental concern. For the 2022 World Environment Day, the theme was "Reimagine. Recreate. Restore." which focused on ecosystem restoration and reversing the degradation of our planet's ecosystems.

• This theme was chosen to kickstart the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), a global mission to revive billions of hectares of land - from forests to farmlands, from mountaintops to the depths of the sea. The slogan emphasized three key actions:

• Reimagine - envisioning a world where we live in harmony with nature

• Recreate - building new, sustainable systems and approaches

• Restore - actively healing damaged ecosystems

• The 2022 event was hosted by Sweden, highlighting the importance of collective environmental action. This theme followed previous years' themes such as "Beat Plastic Pollution" (2018) and "Only One Earth" (which was actually the theme for 2023, not 2022).

• World Environment Day serves as a platform for raising awareness and encouraging action for the protection of our environment.
