The history of World Earth Day dates back to 1970 when millions of Americans took to streets, college campuses and hundreds of cities to protest environmental ignorance and demand a new way forward for our planet.
Since then, more and more countries have joined hands and today it has become a huge global civic movement, celebrated on April 22 every year, aimed at spreading awareness about protecting mother Earth from climate change.
The historic Paris Agreement on climate change was also signed on this very day in 2016. The theme for World Earth Day 2020 is "climate action".
