The General Assembly of the United Nations has proclaimed 2008 as the International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE). On an international level, several major events are scheduled including the Global Launch Event of the International Year of Planet Earth, to be held in Paris at UNESCO headquarters on February 12th and 13th 2008.
