Focus on 2008
International Year of Planet Earth
The International Year of Planet Earth was proclaimed for 2008 by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its Plenary Session on the 22nd of December 2005. The Resolution was tabled by the United Republic of Tanzania and co-signed by 82 nations. In October 2005, UNESCO's General Conference adopted a similar Resolution, also proposed by the United Republic of Tanzania. The aim of the International Year of Planet Earth is to demonstrate new and exciting ways in which Earth sciences can help future generations meet the challenges involved in ensuring a safer and more prosperous world.
