Every June 5th is a day used by the United Nations to stimulate worldwide awareness of environmental issues.
World Environment Day began in 1972 as a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves and future generations.
More than 100 countries are taking part in special events across the world on Sunday to mark World Environment Day.
Representatives from 50 cities around the world will also meet in the San Francisco to discuss how to make cities greener places to live in. The UN reckon that 60% of people will live in cities by 2030.
