"6.5"世界环境日庆祝活动是联合国促进全球环境意识、提高政府对环境问题的注意并采取行动的主要媒介之一。
2004年世界环境日主题为："海洋存亡，人人有责"（Wanted! Seas and Oceans--Dead
or Alive?）。该主题要求我们谨慎对待地球上的海洋。同时也号召我们从自身做起。我们想拥有有生机的海洋吗？或者继续向其排放污染物直至其死亡？
2004 年世界环境日庆祝活动将与"世界文化论坛"（Universal Forum of Cultures）联袂，在西班牙巴塞罗那（Barcelona）市举行。这一重要的联合国日由巴塞罗那市、卡泰隆（Catalan）地区政府和西班牙政府主办。
世界环境日旨在以人性化的方式表述环境问题；使公众成为可持续公平发展的活动主体；促进理解社区是转变对环境问题看法的重要场所；倡导能够保证世界各国、各民族享有更加安全和繁荣的未来的合作。世界环境日是群众性的，它伴随有许多多姿多彩的活动，如街区群众集会、自行车游行、绿色音乐会、校园论文和广告画竞赛、植树活动以及回收和清扫运动。

About World Environment Day 2004
World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June is one
of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates
worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political
attention and action.
The World Environment Day theme selected for 2004 is Wanted! Seas
and Oceans - Dead or Alive? The theme asks that we make a choice
as to how we want to treat the Earth's seas and oceans. It also
calls on each and every one of us to act. Do we want to keep seas
and oceans healthy and alive or polluted and dead?
The main international celebrations of the World Environment Day
2004 will be held in Barcelona, Spain in close collaboration with
the Universal Forum of Cultures. UNEP is honoured that the City
of Barcelona, the Catalan Regional Government and the Government
of Spain will be hosting this important United Nations day.
Our agenda is to give a human face to environmental issues; empower
people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development;
promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing
attitudes towards environmental issues; and advocate partnership
which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more
prosperous future. World Environment Day is a people's event with
colourful activities such as street rallies, bicycle parades,
green concerts, essays and poster competitions in schools, tree
planting, as well as recycling and clean-up campaigns.

它为我们提供了环境问题的人性化一面；使公众成为可持续公平发展的活动主体；促进理解社区是转变对环境问题看法的重要场所；倡导能够保证世界各国、各民族享有更加安全和繁荣的未来的合作。
今年的世界环境日主题是"海洋存亡，人人有责"（Wanted! Seas and Oceans--Dead or
Alive?）。该主题要求我们保护好海洋。同时也号召我们每一个人都付诸行动。我们是想海洋有生机还是继续污染并使其死亡？
