January 26, 1975, was established as the World Day of Environmental Education. This initiative was proposed by the United Nations after the “International Seminar on Environmental Education” (Unesco-UNEP) held in Belgrade, in the then Yugoslavia, from October 13 to 22 of that year. As a result of this seminar “The Belgrade Charter” was published, a document that set forth the goals, objectives, target groups and basic guidelines of the Environmental Education programs at a global level.
