The theme of World Environment Day in 2006-"Desert and Desertification"

The United Nations Environment Programme hopes that through the annual theme of "World Environment Day", people will become active actors in promoting sustainable development and equitable development, and all mankind will have a safe and prosperous future.

On February 12, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) announced at a press conference held in Algiers, the Algerian capital, that the 2006 World Environment Day Celebration would be held here. This is also the first time that the World Environment Day Celebration was held in a North African country. The theme of World Environment Day this year is "Deserts and Desertification".

The United Nations General Assembly designated 2006 as the "International Year of Deserts and Desertification". In order to follow the usual practice and keep consistent with the theme of the International Year of Deserts and Desertification, the United Nations Environment Programme chose "Deserts and Desertification" as the theme of this year's World Environment Day, in order to highlight this urgent environmental problem facing mankind.

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan pointed out that 40% of the earth's land surface belongs to dry land, and 1/3 of the world's population-nearly 2 billion people. For the vast majority of dryland residents, life is hard and their future is often unstable. They are on the edge of ecology, economy and society.

Desertification is related to land degradation, which is the loss of land biological productivity caused by human factors and climate change. It has affected the area of 1/3 of the earth and the lives of 1 hundreds of millions of people. In terms of social and economic losses, it also has potentially destructive consequences.

Klaus T? pfer, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, pointed out: "After water and air, land is the foundation of all life. Unlike water and air, which can be cleaned and restored, once soil is lost, it will take thousands of years to rebuild. Land degradation caused by human factors has affected all continents and needs our urgent response. When we talk about the destructive effects of desertification, it is appropriate to focus on North Africa. "

Algerian Environment Minister Sharif Rahmani said: "As the second largest country in Africa after Sudan, most of Algeria's territory is covered by the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world. Like many neighboring countries, Algeria suffers from soil erosion caused by overgrazing, drought and desertification. "

About World Environment Day 2006

World Environment Day, which is commemorated on June 5th every year, is one of the main tools of the United Nations to arouse the world's awareness of the environment and strengthen political concern and action.

The theme of World Environment Day in 2006 is desert and desertification, and the slogan is don't let dry land desert! World Environment Day's major international celebrations in 2006 will be held in Algeria. UNEP is honoured that the city of Algiers will host this United Nations Day.

The agenda of this day is to give a person's face to environmental issues; Empower people to become active promoters of sustainable and equitable development; Promoting understanding of the community is essential to change attitudes towards environmental issues; Advocate partnership to ensure that all countries and people enjoy a safer and more prosperous future. World Environment Day is a grand gathering of the people, with colorful activities, such as street rallies, bicycle parades, green concerts, school composition and poster competitions, tree planting and recycling and cleaning campaigns.

Information: Desertification in China.

The direct economic loss caused by desertification in China is about 64.2 billion yuan/year, with an average daily loss of 65.438+76 million yuan. The economic losses caused by several main types of desertification are: hydraulic erosion of 40 billion yuan, wind erosion of 3.6 billion yuan, salinization and organic matter loss of about 65.438+08.6 billion yuan; The annual economic losses caused by sandstorms exceed 654.38+0.3 billion yuan; The indirect economic loss caused by desertification and its derivative hazards is about 288.9 billion yuan/year.

Land desertification is the most serious eco-environmental problem in China, especially in the northwest. The increasingly serious sandstorm and expanding sandy land make the ecological environment problem more and more serious, which has caused great harm to the national economy and social development.

(1) encroached on the available land, resulting in poor soil and decreased productivity. Since the founding of New China, 667,000 hectares of cultivated land, 2.35 million hectares of grassland and 6.39 million hectares of forest land have turned into quicksand. The average annual expansion rate of desertification is above 4% in Houshan and Alashan areas of Inner Mongolia, the lower reaches of Tarim River in Xinjiang, the southeastern margin of Qaidam Basin in Qinghai, Bashang in Hebei and Naqu in Tibet. Due to the impact of sandstorms, people and animals in many places have lost their living conditions, and farmers and herdsmen have been forced to move to other places and become "ecological refugees".

The annual loss of soil organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer caused by wind erosion and desertification is as high as 55.9 million tons, equivalent to 270 million tons of chemical fertilizer, equivalent to 9.5 times of the national agricultural chemical fertilizer output 1996. Where desertification is serious, the grain yield per mu is only tens of kilograms.

(2) Sandstorms break out one after another, burying cottages, and causing serious losses when entering and retreating sand. On May 5, 1993, only 1 16 people were killed or missing, 264 people were injured, the airport was closed, and the Lanzhou-Xinjiang and Wuji lines were interrupted for 3 1 hour and 96 hours, resulting in a direct economic loss of 550 million yuan. At present, there are still more than 24,000 towns and villages in China affected by sand damage, ready to move at any time; There are 1400 kilometers of railways, 30,000 kilometers of highways and more than 50,000 kilometers of irrigation canals threatened by sandstorms all the year round. Industrial and mining enterprises such as oil, natural gas, coal, salt and alkali in northwest China have also been harmed by sandstorms. More than half of the 383,000 hm2 salt mine in Jilantai Yantian, the largest lake salt production base in China, has been buried by quicksand, and the thickness of sand cover is more than 30cm.

(3) Aggravating poverty, widening the gap between the east and the west, and affecting the realization of the overall national strategy. The sandy area in northern China is not only the birthplace of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the Lancang River, but also the inhabited area of ethnic minorities (1/3 of the total population of ethnic minorities in China). It is also an important national defense and space base and has an irreplaceable strategic position in national security. At the same time, this area is also the least developed area in China, with a high proportion of poor people and concentrated distribution; The level of scientific and technological development is low and the foundation is poor.

In 2005, World Environment Day's China theme-"Everyone participates in creating a green home" aims to call on the whole society to take action and actively participate in environmental protection practice activities such as building an ecological province, an environmental protection model city, an eco-industrial park, a green school and a green community, so as to build a green home where man and nature can live in harmony.

It is understood that in order to widely mobilize social forces to participate in environmental protection, the State Environmental Protection Administration will also hold a press conference, a national green creation activity commendation meeting, a national environmental protection model city mayor summit, a green consumption knowledge contest and other publicity commemorative activities during the Sixth Five-Year Plan period.

World Environment Day and the Creation of Green Home

June 5th is "World Environment Day". World Environment Day is the largest and most influential anniversary among all members who are enthusiastic about environmental protection. In today's world, the harmonious development of social and economic development and environmental protection is a serious issue. Major environmental problems such as environmental pollution and ecological destruction are often caused by "attaching importance to development and neglecting environmental protection". Therefore, it is very important to carry out environmental publicity and education on a regular basis with the current key environmental issues as the center to improve people's environmental awareness.

1. About World Environment Day

Origin of World Environment Day: 1972 On June 5th, the United Nations held the first "United Nations Conference on the Human Environment" in Stockholm, Sweden. Three countries and regions, including China,11participated in the conference and drafted and adopted the famous United Nations Declaration on the Human Environment and the action plan for protecting the global environment proposed in article 106. At the same time, the meeting suggested that the opening day of the conference on human environment should be World Environment Day. 1972 The 27th United Nations General Assembly decided to designate June 5th as World Environment Day.

World Environment Day theme: At the same time, at the beginning of each year, the United Nations Environment Programme will announce the theme of World Environment Day. Since then, June 5th has become a publicity day for people all over the world to publicize the importance of environmental protection. The theme of World Environment Day's Sixth Five-Year Plan this year is "Building a Green City and Caring for the Earth's Home". In recent years, according to China's actual situation, the theme of China has also been determined. This year, China's theme in World Environment Day is "Everyone participates, creating a green home together", which aims to call on the whole society to take action and actively participate in environmental protection practice activities such as building an ecological province, an environmental protection model city, an ecological industrial park, a green school and a green community, so as to build a green home where man and nature can live in harmony. In order to widely mobilize social forces to participate in environmental protection, the State Environmental Protection Administration will also hold a press conference, a national green creation activity commendation meeting, a national environmental protection model city mayor summit, a green consumption knowledge contest and other publicity and commemorative activities during the Sixth Five-Year Plan period. Environmental education centers, environmental protection websites, non-governmental environmental protection organizations and school organizations in various provinces and cities simultaneously carry out various environmental publicity and commemorative activities, with a view to greatly improving the environmental awareness of the whole people.

2. Everyone participates to create a green home.

Green home belongs to everyone and is the object; Everyone is the subject, including various organs, enterprises, schools and so on. The subject's behavior is "construction", which is to make more contributions to environmental protection. Therefore, the construction of this optimized "man-environment system" should be a colorful activity of "harmony between man and nature".

Vigorously promote the construction of ecological provinces and eco-industrial production parks. This is the key to pay close attention to the prevention and control of regional environmental pollution, and it is also a good strategy to build a harmonious society and realize the sustainable development of economy and environment. The establishment of ecological province is conducive to the overall planning and layout of industry, agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry and the unity of "three benefits"; The establishment of eco-industrial production park is conducive to the division of urban and rural multi-functional areas, production management, energy allocation and pollution control, and it is a green action that benefits the country and the people. We look forward to the leap-forward development of China's eco-province and eco-industrial park, and hope that more cities will participate in the selection of national environmental protection model cities, and create more practical and effective development models in urban environmental protection and economic development.

Vigorously carry out environmental education in various forms. This is the foundation of the century-old plan of "everyone participates and creates a green home together". In school, it is of strategic significance to popularize the basic knowledge of environmental protection and improve students' awareness of environmental protection by creating "green schools" activities. In the community, through the establishment of "green community", people can realize the importance of a good community environment to people's study, work, rest and physical and mental health, and stimulate people's environmental awareness of "starting from me" in community environmental protection. The fundamental purpose of environmental education is to improve people's environmental awareness. This kind of consciousness is mainly embodied in "knowing" and "doing". The so-called "knowledge" means getting familiar with environmental knowledge through various forms of learning, including environmental pollution and its harm, pollution prevention and control means, and what everyone should and should not do. The so-called "action" means actually participating in various activities beneficial to the environment. For example, take part in environmental publicity activities, garbage sorting and recycling activities, planting trees and grass, environmental protection fund donation activities and various environmental protection activities as much as possible. It is hoped that more people will continue to create environmental protection achievements and actively participate in the application selection of "greenguard" and "Ford Motor Environmental Protection Award".

Actively carry out activities to create green families. "Green family" requires the whole family to have a strong sense of environmental protection, implement "green consumption", build "green rooms" and carry out garbage sorting and recycling. Green consumption mainly includes purchasing energy-saving household appliances, national environmental labeling products, "green furniture" and low-noise environmental protection products, staying away from and refusing to use "disposable" consumer goods, saving water, electricity and grain, and all consumption that includes green concepts. Green room is an indoor environment that meets the requirements of environmental protection, is harmless and beneficial to human health. For indoor decoration, firstly, we should not over-decorate, secondly, we should implement "green decoration", that is, buy "green building materials" and carry out "green decoration construction", and at the same time, CMA qualified units should carry out "indoor air quality testing", and the results meet the requirements of "indoor air quality standards" Waste newspapers, books and periodicals, beverage bottles and other recyclable "waste" in the family are classified and recycled to save resources and make the best use of them.

Commemorate World Environment Day in the Sixth Five-Year Plan, start from me and build a green home together!
