5 June 2023

Today we celebrate the 50th anniversary of @UN’s #WorldEnvironmentDay.🌍

#OnThisDay, CERN reflects on and commits to environmentally responsible research. Curious about the diverse ways in which CERN acts to minimise its impact on the #environment? Watch this video to learn more. 👇

For the rest of this week, join CERN and its partners as we celebrate our efforts and reiterate our commitment to continuing to do better. #EPPCNenvironment
