Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

The International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict is observed annually on November 6. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2001 through Resolution A/RES/56/4, the day aims to highlight the often-overlooked environmental consequences of warfare. It emphasizes that the environment, frequently a silent casualty of war, must be protected even amid conflict. The observance also supports global peace, sustainability, and the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, aligning with key goals such as Climate Action, Life on Land, and Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.
