2022 World Environment Day

The Jubilee Catholic Secondary School's Environmental Club visited the display stalls at the Protect Area Forum as part of the club’s World Environment Day programme.

Jubilee Catholic Secondary School teacher and an environment enthusiast, Kinibo Duri, said the Environment Club is to get the children involved in, and to understand the importance of, environment conservation.

JICA PNG Alumni Association partnered with the National Capital District Commission to do a cleanup activity on Sunday morning, 5 June 2022. 

More than 50 participants from JICA joined this activity.

The event was held to commemorate the World Environment Day and brought JICA staff and ex training participants to work with locals at Konebada.

This was a good opportunity for participants, including children, to think about our greener future.

It is the biggest international day for the environment, which is led by the UN Environment Programme and has been held annually since 1973.
This year’s theme is “Only One Earth”, which points out that out of the billions of galaxies in the universe, and out of the billions of planets in our galaxy, there is only one Earth.

The 2022 World Environment Day global campaign #OnlyOneEarth calls for transformative changes to policies and choices to enable cleaner, greener, and sustainable living in harmony with nature.

Students joined in the discussion of the importance of the environment through debate, poetry, art and dance.

Head of Horticulture at the Port Moresby Nature Park, Junior Muli, said they were invited by the school to participated, and so brought trees for staff and students to plant.
