World Environment Day 2025 – #BeatPlasticPollution

World Environment Day in 2025 will focus on ending plastic pollution. 

For decades, plastic pollution has seeped into every corner of the world, leaching into the water we drink, into the food we eat, and into our bodies. While plastic pollution is a major concern, it is also one of the most fixable of today’s environmental challenges, with some obvious solutions at hand.

World Environment Day joins the UNEP-led #BeatPlasticPollution this year to mobilise communities worldwide to implement and advocate for solutions. World Environment Day will spotlight the growing scientific evidence on the impacts of plastic pollution and drive momentum to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink plastic use. It will also reinforce the global commitment made in 2022 to end plastic pollution through a global plastic pollution treaty.
