Message of UNTimorLeste Resident Coordinator Roy Trivedy on International Mother Earth Day, 22 April 2022

Today is International Mother Earth Day!

The Earth and its ecosystems provide us with life and sustenance.

Let's recognise a collective responsibility to promote harmony with nature and balance the economic, social, and environmental needs of present and future generations.

The Member States of the United Nations, including Timor-Leste, and civil society globally, celebrate this day through educational events about nature's life-supporting resources and ecosystems.

For this International Mother Earth Day, let's all make peace with nature!

Let's remind ourselves that we need a shift to a more sustainable economy that works for all people and the Planet!

Let's promote harmony with nature and the Earth!

Today, let's all participate in the global movement to restore our world!
