The World Soil Day campaign aims to connect people with soils and raise awareness on their critical importance in our lives. The FAO Conference, in June 2013, unanimously endorsed World Soil Day and requested official adoption at the 68th UN General Assembly. In December 2013, the 68th UN General Assembly declared 5th of December as the World Soil Day. http://www.fao.org/global-soil-partnership/overview/why-the-partnership/en/

The International Volunteer Day (IVD) mandated by the UN General Assembly, is held each year on 5 December. It is viewed as a unique chance for volunteers and organizations to celebrate their efforts, to share their values, and to promote their work among their communities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), United Nations agencies, government authorities and the private sector. http://www.un.org/en/events/volunteerday/index.shtml
