pollution reduction.
Today's Target
Presented by:- Rohan Singrore Organization:- Sam Global University
Introduction
World Environment Day:-
Every year is observed on the 5th of June. This day is
dedicated to celebrate, encourage awareness and
environmental protection. According to the United Nations,
the celebration of this day provides us with an opportunity to
broaden the basis for an enlightened opinion and
responsible conduct by individuals, enterprises, and
communities in preserving and enhancing the
environment.
History of World Environment Day:-
In 1972, the United Nations General Assembly established
the World Environment Day on the first day of the
Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. Two
years later, in 1974 the first World Environment Day was
held with the theme ‘Only One Earth’. Despite the World
Environment Day celebration being held annually since
1974, in 1987 the idea for rotating the center of these
activities through selecting different host countries began.
Objective & Theme of Environment Day in 2024:-
●The primary objective of World Environment Day is to raise
awareness about environmental issues.
●World Environment Day aims to encourage communities to
take action towards protecting the environment.
Theme 2024→
"Ecosystem Restoration”
Continue……
Over the years, World Environment Day has grown
into a global platform for public outreach, with
participation from over 150 countries. Each year, the
day focuses on a specific environmental issue, with
host countries leading the celebrations by organising
events and activities that engage the global
community.
Environmental
Challenges:-
Current Environment challenges:-
●Major current environmental issues may include climate change,
pollution, environmental degradation, and resource depletion.
●The conservation movement lobbies for protection of endangered
species and protection of any ecologically valuable natural areas,
genetically modified foods and global warming.
The mein three Issues:-
1.Climate change,
2.Pollution
3.Diodiversity loss
News Article:-
In 2023, India stood as the third
most polluted nation globally,
recording an average
population-weighted fine
particulate matter (PM) 2.5
concentration of 54.4 micrograms
per cubic metre (μg/m3), found a
new global report by IQAir — a
Swiss air quality technology
company.
Pollution Data in India:-
India's Central Pollution Control
Board now routinely monitors four
air pollutants namely sulphur
dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen
(NOx), suspended particulate
matter (SPM) and respirable
particulate matter (PM10). These
are target air pollutants for regular
monitoring at 308 operating
stations in 115 cities/towns in 25
states and 4 Union Territories of
India.

Why we need
Alternative
Sources for energy
Alternative Sources of energy:-
Alternative sources of energy can be defined as the use of sources of energy other
than the traditional fossil fuels (such as oil, coal, and natural gas), which are
shorter in supply and which are considered harmful to the environment. It
includes all renewable and nuclear energy sources.
●Wind Energy,
●Solar Energy,
●Geothermal Energy,
●Bioenergy
●Hydroelectric Energy,
●Hydrogen Energy,
●Nuclear Energy,
●Tidal Energy,
●Hydroelectric Energy,

●Wind Energy:-In this source of energy, the wind is used for
producing electricity by making use of the kinetic energy created by
air in motion.
●Solar Energy:-In this source of energy, the radiation from the Sun is
used which is capable of producing heat, causing chemical reactions,
and generating electricity.
●Geothermal Energy:-It is a source of energy that is taken from the
Earth’s core. It comes from the heat which is generated during the
original formation of the planet.
Conti…..
●Bioenergy:-In this source of energy electricity and gas are generated
from the organic matter known as biomass. Bioenergy is one of the
resources available to help meet the demand for energy, it includes
electricity, heat and transportation fuel.
●Hydroelectric Energy:-It is a source of energy that is obtained by
falling water from high potential to low potential as potential is
defined to flow down from a certain height. It is a form of energy that
harnesses the power of water in motion—such as water flowing over
a waterfall—to generate electricity.
Coti……
Nuclear Energy :-Nuclear energy is created in the form of heat through the fission process of
atoms. The initial fission process creates energy and triggers a chain reaction that repeats the
process and generates more energy. In nuclear power plants, the heat that fission produces
creates steam. The steam then rotates a turbine, which leads to the production of electricity.
Hydrogen Energy :-Hydrogen is used as a clean-burning fuel, leading to fewer pollutants and a
cleaner environment. We also use it for fuel cells. These are similar to batteries and are used to
supply power to electric motors.
Tidal Energy :-With the movement of the tides, we get tidal energy when the kinetic energy of
the water movement converts into electrical energy. Of course, this is one of the
location-specific sources of energy, but it’s very effective. Tidal energy is renewable and
produces large amounts of energy even with low-speed tides.
Importance of Alternative Sources of energy:-
●Protects the Environment: Alternative sources of energy help
to protect the environment and give it the opportunity to
regenerate.Helps in Providing.
● Sustainable Fuel Systems: The alternative sources of energy
can help in creating a sustainable fuel system and can help in
sustaining the ecological balance of a region.
●Useful in Economic Growth: Producing more utility-scale
energy systems can help in creating more economic growth.
Case Studies of

Denmark
Denmark has the highest
proportion of wind power in
the world. In 2015, Denmark
produced 42% of electricity
from wind,[53][5] up from the
2014 record of 39% of total
power consumption. For the
month of January 2014, that
share was over 61%. The
month of lowest wind power
share was July at 23%.[6]
Denmark also had 548 MW of
solar power
