Every year, on the 22nd of April Earth Day is observed across the globe and people and major stakeholders take part in civic activities and work towards raising awareness about critical issues that the Earth is facing.

The theme this year is "Restore Our Earth" and its focus is on natural processes, emerging green technologies and innovative thinking that can restore the world’s ecosystems. Global warming, pollution and deforestation are some of the problems routinely discussed since they pose a major threat to nature.
