A clean atmosphere also includes a preserved ozone layer to protect the planet from the sun. Once badly damaged from man-made chemicals, work over time has helped to recover much of what was lost, but vigilance is still needed to keep it that way.
Both World Days follow the Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 13 (Climate Action), 15 (Life on Land), and 17 (Partnership for the Goals).

30% of all produced food is lost between production and when used. In a time where climate change and political instability are impacting food sustainability, and a large portion of the world’s population face issues of hunger, action is needed more than ever to be more efficient with food systems.
This World Day follows the Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
