Youth for the Environment (Y4TE) said that it would like to remind everyone that today, Monday, the 3rd of October is the World Habitat Day.

The United Nations has declared the first Monday of October every year as World Habitat Day and it is celebrated in many countries around the world. It was first celebrated in 1986 with the theme “Shelter is my Right.”

This day reminds everyone to take care of the environment for future generations and to make a decent place to live. The theme for this year is “Cities and Climate Change,” as cities are a great influence on climate change.
