The Earth Day is marked on April 22 to strengthen people’s awareness of the natural environment. The idea of marking the Earth Day was first introduced in 1969, but has been officially marked since 1992, when a far-reaching program to promote sustainable development was coordinated at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro. In 2009, the UN General Assembly declared April 22 as International Earth Day, which was first marked on April 22, 1970 at US universities.
Eko HUB Blagaj, coordinated by the Youth Club Novi Val Blagaj, was launched as part of the project “Thoughts about nature!” which is implemented by the Civil Society Promotion Center and financially supported by Sweden.
