To celebrate the global benefits of wind energy, World Wind Day is celebrated on June 15 annually. The importance of wind on human activities and its interaction in the planet’s biodiversity is more than vital.
Wind energy is a source of renewable energy. It does not contaminate, it is inexhaustible and reduces the use of fossil fuels, which are the origin of greenhouse gasses that cause global warming. The first celebration of World Wind Day took place for the first time in Europe in 2007. However, in just a couple of years, the event was observed globally in 2009.
World Wind Day, as every year, will be observed on June 15 of this year, which will fall on Monday. The first celebration of World Wind Day took place for the first time in Europe in 2007. However, in just a couple of years, the event was observed globally in 2009.
World Wind Day is organized by the organizations of the World Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and Wind Europe (WE). The importance and popularity of the event have been strengthening since its inception. To explain it in numbers, World Wind Day was celebrated in 30 countries in 2011. The number has now grown to 80 countries according to the latest data.
There are multiple goals to celebrate World Wind Day. Its objective is to educate children and adults about the power that wind energy uses with wind turbines. It disseminates information about the benefits of wind power, and how it is profitable and competitive when compared to its substitutes. Wind energy is considered one of the cleanest and most renewable energy sources. It is also much cheaper, in some circumstances, compared to others. Wind power helps reduce CO2 emissions, which ultimately helps to have cleaner air around you.
