International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict

The International Day for preventing the exploitation of the environment in war and armed conflict is a UN observed day that aims to make people aware of the consequences that war and conflict have on the environment. It focuses on how armed conflict can cause environmental damage. The damage may endure long after the conflict has ceased and it may extend beyond the limits of national territories and the current generation of people.
