World Environment Day (WED) is the principal vehicle used by the United Nations through which worldwide awareness of the environment is stimulated as well as it is a global celebration also serving as the ‘people’s day’ for doing something collectively helpful for the environment. The theme for WED 2015 is "Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care”.
To commemorate WED 2015, on June 11th 2015 the Environmental Policy and Planning Division was invited to facilitate lectures about environmental issues such as biodiversity conservation, waste management, ozone depletion and climate change to the students of the University of the West Indies (UWI) Primary School as part of their WED activities. The EPPD also set up an interactive display in the school's auditorium where students visited during break times and played various games that also served to further teach them about the environment.
Students were engaged, participative and fully enjoyed both the lectures and the display:
