More than 1 billion people in 192 countries now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world.  CENN together with EMBRACE Tsalka and GEO-CAP projects invite you to be a part of Earth Day and to help further climate action across the globe.

When life around the world returns to normal, our world cannot return to business-as-usual. We have the ability to make a difference in every industry, but that can only happen when we work together.
