Earth Day is the largest, most celebrated environmental event worldwide. Environmental challenges surround us as our actions pollute and often harm the fragile environment that humans and wildlife depend on to survive.
Earth Day is an annual event that provides the opportunity for positive actions and results and aims to inspire awareness of and appreciation for our environment. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the vernal (March) equinox. ***A global observance in many countries is held each year on April 22.

Australia's climate is changing
It is the Bureau's responsibility to provide decision makers and the general public with accurate observations and information about our changing climate.
Australia and the globe are experiencing rapid climate change. Since the middle of the 20th century, Australian temperatures have, on average, risen by about 1°C with an increase in the frequency of heatwaves and a decrease in the numbers of frosts and cold days. Rainfall patterns have also changed - the northwest has seen an increase in rainfall over the last 50 years while much of eastern Australia and the far southwest have experienced a decline.
