World Environment Day 2025: 20 Inspiring Messages To Tackle Pollution And Go Green

World Environment Day 2025 is being observed today, June 5, across more than 150 countries, reinforcing global commitment to environmental protection. Spearheaded by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) since 1973, this annual event has evolved into the world's largest platform for environmental awareness and action.

The day serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address pressing environmental challenges, including climate change, plastic pollution, air quality deterioration, and biodiversity loss. Through campaigns, community clean-ups, educational workshops, and policy dialogues, governments, schools, offices, and local organisations are coming together to inspire and engage people in sustainable practices.

This year, World Environment Day supports UNEP's campaign to #BeatPlasticPollution, focusing on real solutions to one of the planet's most fixable problems. The campaign urges everyone to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink how we use plastic in daily life.

Plastic pollution worsens the triple threat facing our planet: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Each year, 11 million tonnes of plastic waste contaminate water ecosystems, while microplastics from sewage and landfills accumulate in soil, harming the environment. The annual cost of plastic pollution is estimated to be $300-600 billion.
