地球是人類的共同家園，然而，隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展和經(jīng)濟(jì)規(guī)模的擴(kuò)大，全球環(huán)境狀況在過去30年里持續(xù)惡化。以下是地球日的由來及意義介紹，歡迎閱讀。

世界地球日的由來

地球日是在環(huán)境污染日益嚴(yán)重的背景下產(chǎn)生的。世界地球日活動(dòng)起源于美國(guó)。1970年4月22日，美國(guó)首次舉行了聲勢(shì)浩大的“地球日”活動(dòng)，這一天，全美有2000多萬人，10000所中小學(xué)，2000所高等院校和2000個(gè)社區(qū)及各大團(tuán)體參加了這次活動(dòng)。人們通過舉行集會(huì)、游行、宣講和其他多種形式的宣傳活動(dòng)，呼吁所有人都行動(dòng)起來，保護(hù)和拯救我們的地球。這是人類歷史上第一次規(guī)模宏大的群眾性環(huán)境保護(hù)運(yùn)動(dòng)。這次活動(dòng)取得了極大成功，以后每年的“地球日”也都備受關(guān)注。這是人類有史以來第一次規(guī)模宏大的群眾性環(huán)境保護(hù)運(yùn)動(dòng)。

作為人類現(xiàn)代環(huán)保運(yùn)動(dòng)的開端，“地球日”活動(dòng)推動(dòng)了多個(gè)國(guó)家環(huán)境法規(guī)的建立。1990年4月22日，全世界140多個(gè)國(guó)家、2億多人同時(shí)在各地舉行多種多樣的環(huán)境保護(hù)宣傳活動(dòng)。這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)得到了聯(lián)合國(guó)的首肯。從此“地球日”成為“世界地球日”。

Earth day was created in the context of the growing environmental pollution. Earth day originated in the United States. On April 22, 1970, the United States for the first time held a huge "earth day" activities, on this day, in the United States has more than 2000, ten thousand people, 10000 primary and secondary schools, 2000 universities and 2000 communities and groups took part in this activity. People are calling on everyone to act, protect and save our planet by holding rallies, parades, speeches and other forms of propaganda. This is the first large-scale mass environmental protection movement in human history. The event has been a great success, and the annual earth day has been followed. This is the first large-scale mass environmental movement in human history.

As the beginning of the modern environmental movement, earth day has promoted the establishment of environmental laws and regulations in many countries. On April 22, 1990, more than 200 million people in more than 140 countries around the world held various environmental protection campaigns. The campaign was endorsed by the United Nations. Earth day became earth day.

世界地球日的意義

地球是人類的共同家園，然而，隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展和經(jīng)濟(jì)規(guī)模的擴(kuò)大，全球環(huán)境狀況在過去30年里持續(xù)惡化。有資料表明：自1860年有氣象儀器觀測(cè)記錄以來，全球年平均溫度升高了0.6攝氏度，最暖的13個(gè)年份均出現(xiàn)在1983年以后。20世紀(jì)80年代，全球每年受災(zāi)害影響的人數(shù)平均為1.47億，而到了20世紀(jì)90年代，這一數(shù)字上升到2.11億。目前世界上約有40%的人口嚴(yán)重缺水，如果這一趨勢(shì)得不到遏制，在30年內(nèi)，全球55%以上的人口將面臨水荒。自然環(huán)境的"惡化也嚴(yán)重威脅著地球上的野生物種。如今全球12%的鳥類和四分之一的哺乳動(dòng)物瀕臨滅絕，而過度捕撈已導(dǎo)致三分之一的魚類資源枯竭。

世界地球日活動(dòng)旨在喚起人類愛護(hù)地球、保護(hù)家園的意識(shí)，促進(jìn)資源開發(fā)與環(huán)境保護(hù)的協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展。從20世紀(jì)90年代起，中國(guó)在每年的4月22日都舉辦“世界地球日”宣傳活動(dòng)，并根據(jù)當(dāng)年的情況確定活動(dòng)主題。2008年，中國(guó)確定的“世界地球日”主題與“國(guó)際地球年”中國(guó)行動(dòng)的宣傳口號(hào)一樣，即“認(rèn)識(shí)地球，和諧發(fā)展”。其目的是向社會(huì)公眾普及地學(xué)知識(shí)，加強(qiáng)全社會(huì)對(duì)地學(xué)的認(rèn)識(shí)和有效利用，提高公眾對(duì)資源國(guó)情的認(rèn)識(shí)，實(shí)現(xiàn)人與自然和諧發(fā)展。

The earth is the common home of mankind. However, with the development of science and technology and the expansion of economic scale, the global environmental situation has deteriorated over the past 30 years. The data show that since the observation records of meteorological instruments in 1860, the global average temperature has increased by 0.6 degrees Celsius, and the warmest 13 years have occurred since 1983. In the 1980s, the average number of people affected by disasters in the world was 147 million per year, up from 21.1 million in the 1990s. About 40 per cent of the world"s population is seriously short of water, and if this trend is not curbed, more than 55 per cent of the world"s population will face water scarcity within 30 years. The deterioration of the natural environment is also a serious threat to the wild species on earth. Today, 12 percent of the world"s birds and a quarter of mammals are endangered, and overfishing has depleted a third of fish stocks.

The earth day campaign aims to arouse the awareness of human beings to love the earth and protect their homeland, and promote the coordinated development of resource development and environmental protection. Since the 1990s, China has held a "earth day" campaign on April 22 each year, and the theme of the event is determined according to the current situation. In 2008, the theme of "earth day" in China was the same as the slogan of "international earth year", namely "understanding the earth and developing harmoniously". The aim is to popularize the knowledge of earth science to the public, to strengthen the understanding and effective utilization of the whole society, to raise public awareness of the national conditions and to realize harmonious development between man and nature.
