In Lumesmart EarthDay Conference 2020, we celebrated Earth Day with the 6th Annual Lumesmart EarthDay conference by experiencing the panamic and for the first time ever, we switched our event form in person to an online event.
The speakers of this conference talked about topics related to cleantech, their topics included the following: Renewable Energy, Innovation, Green Economy, Natural Resources, Smart City, Green Chemistry, Agritech and AI.
That was a huge change arranged with the whole team within a month!

1- Climate Change: One of the most pressing environmental issues facing Earth is climate change, largely driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This leads to an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing global temperatures to rise. The consequences of climate change include more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, loss of biodiversity, and disruptions to ecosystems and human societies.
2- Deforestation: Deforestation, the clearing of forests for agriculture, logging, and development, is a major environmental issue that contributes to habitat loss, biodiversity decline, and carbon emissions. Forests play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and providing habitats for a wide range of plant and animal species. Deforestation disrupts these ecosystems, leading to soil erosion, water pollution, and loss of valuable resources.
3- Pollution: Pollution in various forms, including air pollution, water pollution, and soil contamination, poses significant threats to human health and the environment. Industrial activities, transportation, agriculture, and waste disposal contribute to the release of pollutants such as particulate matter, toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and plastic waste into the environment. Pollution can harm ecosystems, contaminate water sources, degrade air quality, and impact human health through respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and other health issues.
These environmental issues are interconnected and require global cooperation and sustainable solutions to mitigate their impacts and protect the planet for future generations.
Earth Day is important because it raises awareness about environmental issues, promotes sustainability and conservation efforts, and encourages individuals and communities to take action to protect the planet for future generations.
Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970, as a way to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote conservation efforts. It has since become a global event with millions of people participating in activities to protect the planet.
Taking action on environmental issues is important because the health of the planet directly impacts human health and well-being. By addressing environmental challenges such as pollution, climate change, deforestation, and habitat loss, we can create a more sustainable and livable world for current and future generations.
The keynote speakers at the Earth Day Conference include renowned environmental activists, sustainability experts, and industry leaders who will share their insights and experiences on environmental issues and solutions.
