Each year, April 22nd marks Earth Day, a worldwide event that aims to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement. Since the first Earth Day in 1970, activists across the world have used to occasion to push for an increased awareness over environmental issues and lobby for policy changes.
The theme of this year's Earth Day is "Restore Our Earth", with the event focusing on natural processes, emerging green technologies and innovative thinking that can restore the world's ecosystems. The climax of the event, the Earth Day Live digital event, will coincide with the Biden Administration's global climate summit, where world leaders will meet to discuss the need to take stronger action on climate change ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference this November in Glasgow.
