Earth Day is observe on 22nd April every year.
The theme for Earth Day 2022 is “Invest In our Planet”, urging businesses to shift towards sustainable practices.
Since the 1800s, human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, have one of the main causes for climate change, the UN notes on its website.
This results in warmer temperatures over time, which cause melting of ice, glacier retreats, coral bleaching, and destruction of forests, as shown in the Google Doodle images post for Earth Day 2022.
As per the UN, the warmer temperatures will over time affect weather patterns and disrupt human and other life on the planet.
