Celebrate World Habitat Day – First Monday of October
World Habitat Day is observed each year on the first Monday in October. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1985, this day provides a global platform to raise awareness about the urgent need for adequate shelter for all people.
The term habitat refers to the physical environment where people live, encompassing essential elements such as housing, air and water quality, and access to natural resources. Ensuring sustainable and adequate housing for everyone remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time. World Habitat Day encourages positive action and inspires innovative solutions to address these critical issues.
