Every year on November 6.
What is 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 was declared by the UN General Assembly in 2001 and is observed on November 6. Wars poison rivers and wells, burn forests and oil fields, and leave mines and debris in farmland, damage that harms people long after the fighting ends. The day calls for protecting nature in conflict and for treating environmental recovery as part of building peace.
