June 15th - Global Wind Day

Global Wind Day is celebrated all around the world on the 15th of June. It is a day for finding the wind, its power, and the potential outcomes it holds to reshape our energy systems.

On June 15, Global Wind Day, otherwise called World Wind Day, is monumentalized. It's daily to find out about wind energy, and its true possibility for reshaping energy systems, decarbonizing economies and boosting employment and growth. The reason for the day is to increment public information on wind energy and its purposes. On this day, individuals all over the world commended the significance of wind energy and how it can influence the world.

The change of wind energy into a usable type of energy, for example, using wind turbines to generate electricity, windmills to give mechanical power, wind pumps to pump or drain water, or sails to move ships, is known as wind power. Wind energy is a practical option in contrast to fossil fuels since it is plentiful, sustainable, comprehensively spread, clean, radiates no greenhouse gas substances while in activity, and requires negligible land.

Wind energy additionally develops employment. Wind turbine service technicians are the second quickest developing vocation in the United States. Numerous different countries, notwithstanding the United States, are utilizing these benefits. China, Germany, India, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Brazil are among the world's driving wind energy producers. Wind energy enjoys the accompanying benefits, as per the Department of Energy:

It is one of the most expense effective energy sources.

Wind energy is a pure energy source since it isn't dependent on fossil fuels like coal.

It is a renewable energy source that won't ever run out.

History

In 2007, The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) organized the primary Wind Day.

In 2009 the EWEA united with the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and made it a worldwide event. Lately, WindEurope and the GWEC have organized the day together.

In 2012, the associations supported a photo contest. Individuals all over the planet were urged to enter photos that best caught the subject for the year. Ongoing topics have included "The Wind in Mind" and "Future Wind."

Global Wind Day 2022 depends on the subject celebrated to partake in the advantages of wind energy and giving training to the person about the power and potential of wind energy to impact the world. On this day, wind energy ventures and associations from one side of the world to the other hold an assortment of events. Educational seminars, trips to wind farms, wind turbine demonstrations, and marches are among the attractions.

National wind energy groups and firms keen on wind energy age sort out events in different countries across the world as an association with EWEA and GWEC. Visits to onshore and offshore wind farms, information campaigns, showing turbines in towns, wind seminars, and a winding march are among the events arranged. Numerous events happen on Global Wind Day itself, as well as in the long stretches of time paving the way to and after it.

Significance

With the danger of global warming approaching, it's a higher priority than any time in recent With the danger of global warming approaching, it's a higher priority than any time in recent memory to utilize energy sources like wind. As per globalwindday.org, wind energy is present a developed and broadly utilized technology. It is likewise one of the quickest developing industrial areas, with more than $100 billion spent in 2015. In the earlier year, the wind: industry introduced more than the gas and coal areas consolidated in the EU.

It additionally has the introduced ability to power 87 million households or 15% of the region's electrical interest. With such potential, the meaning of the day increments immensely, as additional individuals ought to know about the upsides of wind energy. This drive is a joint effort between a few countries.

This day is organized by European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) and the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). Individuals used to visit wind farms, meet specialists, go to events and make a move to help wind energy on this day.
