World Environment Day is the United Nations day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment.
World Environment Day is the biggest international day for the environment. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and held annually since 1973, it has grown to be the largest global platform for environmental outreach. It is celebrated by millions of people across the world.
World Environment Day 2025 calls for collective action to tackle plastic pollution. Plastic pollution permeates every corner of the planet—even in our bodies in the form of microplastics.
By drawing inspiration from nature and showcasing real-world solutions, the campaign will encourage individuals, organisations, industries, and governments to adopt sustainable practices that drive systemic change.
This year’s World Environment Day comes exactly two months before countries meet again to continue negotiating a global treaty to end plastic pollution.
Join the #BeatPlasticPollution movement—because together we can create a healthier future.
2025 Host
Every World Environment Day has a different host country, where the official celebrations take place. The focus on the host country helps highlight the environmental challenges it faces and supports worldwide efforts to address them.
The Republic of Korea will host World Environment Day 2025 with a focus on ending plastic pollution.
