World Environment Day is celebrated annually on June 5 and is led by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). It serves as a global platform to raise awareness and encourage action for environmental protection. Since its establishment in 1972, it has grown into one of the most widely recognized environmental movements, engaging millions of people across 150+ countries.

World Environment Day 2025

- Theme: "Ending Plastic Pollution"

- Host Country: Republic of Korea

- Focus: The campaign aims to tackle the growing crisis of plastic waste, which threatens ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. Plastic production has surged from 2 million tons in 1950 to over 430 million tons today, with a significant portion being single-use plastics. The initiative urges individuals, industries, and governments to adopt sustainable alternatives and reduce plastic dependency.

Why It Matters

Plastic pollution has reached alarming levels, with microplastics found in oceans, mountains, and even inside the human body. The UNEP-led campaign encourages global cooperation to phase out harmful plastic use and promote recycling and biodegradable alternatives. This year’s event comes just two months before countries meet to negotiate a global treaty to end plastic pollution.

🌿 A World Worth Saving 🌍

sky so vast and wide,

rivers dance amidst forest's shade,

planet breathes, world so bright,

light fading, it cries for help

oceans sing, their waves embrace,

threatened...as plastic chokes

their endless space...Confounding

trees once stood in mighty cheer,

Now whisper low, “We disappear.”

But hands can plant, and hearts can mend,

The earth still waits for us, my friend.

let our every step, with every choice,

give the silent world a voice.

So raise your hands, lift up the call,

Protect this earth, one home for all.

in the air, the sea, the ground,

A future waits...let hope resound!

Let's celebrate the planet today and every day!

🌿🌱

Rivers dance in golden light,

Earth sings soft and true.
