Every April 15, the world unites to celebrate Environmental Knowledge Day – a movement born at the groundbreaking 1992 UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. 🌱 This international effort has grown into a powerhouse for driving climate education and cross-border sustainability partnerships, particularly in countries like Russia and Uzbekistan.
Since 1996, Russia has marked the day with nationwide campaigns tackling environmental hazards, while Uzbekistan launched its Central Asian Green University – a first-of-its-kind hub shaping eco-conscious leaders. 🎓 "Environmental literacy isn't just textbooks – it's survival skills for our planet," says climate educator Daria Ivanova.
From school workshops in Moscow to community solar projects in Tashkent, the day proves that Gen Z's favorite hashtag #ClimateAction isn't just for Instagram. 💡 As global temperatures rise, this annual event reminds us that shared knowledge might be our coolest weapon against climate change.
