World Environment Day 2025: The Industrial Revolution, along with increasing urbanisation and population growth, has significantly contributed to the degradation of our natural environment.
World Environment Day, organised by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), serves as an important occasion to raise awareness about environmental crises and promote action for sustainability.
This global event is observed annually on June 5; this year, in 2025, it will be falling on a Thursday, June 5, with the Republic of Korea hosting the event. It will focus on the theme #BeatPlasticPollution.
The theme aims to teach people about how we make, use, and throw away plastics, and what effects they have. The initiative seeks to engage communities globally in advocating for and implementing effective solutions.
It will highlight the mounting scientific research on plastic pollution’s effects while promoting efforts to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink our reliance on plastics and reaffirm the global commitment established in 2022 to address plastic pollution through a comprehensive treaty.
The first major global meeting about environmental issues happened in Stockholm in 1972. This event was a turning point for the worldwide environmental movement.
This meeting acknowledged everyone’s basic right to live in a clean environment and resulted in the creation of the UNEP. To celebrate this, it named June 5 is named a worldwide day to focus on environmental awareness.
Since that time, the UNEP has taken part in many projects to safeguard the environment. These range from boosting awareness about ecological problems to having an impact on global environmental rules.
