Schroders: Earth Day 2022 Q&A: Everything you need to know
More than 50 years since Earth Day was first observed, we examine its history and this year’s theme of “invest in our planet”.
When Earth Day 2022 is celebrated around the world on Friday 22 April it will be its 52nd anniversary. But what is its history and what progress, if any, has been made since it was first celebrated in 1970?
What is Earth Day?
Earth Day is an annual global event to demonstrate support for environmental protection and highlight how we can take action. Marked on 22 April each year, it is coordinated via Earthday.org.
Sometimes the week running up to it is referred to as Earth Week. According to the organisers, it is recognised by around one billion people from more than 190 countries.
