This day was first designated by the United Nations in 1985. Now, every year on the first Monday in October we celebrate World Habitat Day.
The idea of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities and the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat.
By looking at population growth, urbanisation and climate change, we can commit to a more sustainable future whilst preserving our cultural heritage.
Children and teenagers will find a range of titles in the reading list. Some are thought provoking, some serious and sad and some humorous and entertaining. All titles show respect for an aspect of World Heritage Day and will certainly have you covered!
