International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict

Observed annually on 6th November, the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict draws attention to the devastating impact that war has on natural environments. During conflicts, ecosystems are often destroyed, and resources like water, forests, and wildlife suffer long-term damage. This day raises awareness about the need to protect the environment during times of conflict and promote the sustainable use of resources.

The United Nations established this day to remind the world of the essential role environmental protection plays in post-conflict recovery and peacebuilding. Governments, organisations, and activists use this day to advocate for policies that safeguard natural resources and ensure their sustainable management, even in the face of conflict.
