Celebrate World Habitat Day – First Monday of October
World Habitat Day
World Habitat Day is observed on the first Monday in October each year. This day was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1985 to raise awareness about the need for adequate shelter for all people.
Habitat refers to the physical conditions of the environment in which humans live, including housing, air, water, and access to natural resources. Achieving sustainable and adequate housing for all has been a global challenge, and World Habitat Day aims to promote positive steps towards this goal.
Each year, a theme is chosen for World Habitat Day to focus attention on a specific aspect of housing. The theme for 2021 is “Accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world”. This theme highlights the importance of sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions in housing to combat the growing threat of climate change.
On this day, many events and activities are organized by governments, UN agencies, communities, and civil society organizations to raise awareness and take action towards achieving sustainable and adequate housing for all. These activities include seminars, workshops, art exhibitions, and community programs.
By celebrating World Habitat Day, we recognize the importance of safe, affordable and sustainable housing for all people, and take a step towards creating a better and more inclusive future for everyone. Let’s join hands and work towards a carbon-free world!
