🌍 World Environment Day 2025 A Global Commitment… and a Shared Responsibility for a Better Planet

Since its establishment in 1973, World Environment Day has become one of the most prominent environmental observances worldwide, celebrated annually by over 150 countries. Its purpose is to raise environmental awareness and encourage both individual and institutional efforts to protect the planet.

On this day, the spotlight turns to the environment as a global priority—one that demands cooperation, planning, and change from not only governments but also businesses, farmers, and individuals everywhere.

📜 A Historical Overview

World Environment Day was first held on June 5, 1973, following the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm in 1972. This event marked a historic shift in how the world approached environmental issues.

Since then, June 5 has become an annual global event organized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Each year features a host country and a central theme that guides discussions, actions, and campaigns.

Each year, a main theme is selected to spotlight a pressing environmental challenge. Some notable themes include:

• 2025 – “Beat Plastic Pollution”: Focuses on empowering communities to adopt eco-friendly solutions, reduce or eliminate plastic use, promote recycling, and support sustainable alternatives.
