From what Earth Day is and it's history to this year's Earth Day theme for 2023, Vogue shares everything you need to know about Earth 2023, and how you can help.
As the climate crisis becomes ever more serious, each Earth Day that comes along takes on extra significance. Established in 1970 in the US, the annual event brings together millions of people from around the world in support of the environment, highlighting the urgent action we need to take to save our planet. Earth Day 2023 comes after yet another report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in March, which was described as a “final warning” from scientists.
The event undoubtedly had a major impact, with President Richard Nixon creating the Environmental Protection Agency just months later in December 1970, as well as signing the Clean Air Act. Earth Day later became an international campaign in 1990, when environmental activists asked one of the original organisers, Denis Hayes, to help create another event to spotlight the ecological challenges facing our planet.
