World Environment Day 2023
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, join millions of people around the world to #BeatPlasticPollution.
World Environment Day is the United Nations day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment. Since it began in 1974, the event has grown to become a global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated in over 100 countries.
The People’s Day
Above all, World Environment Day is the “people’s day” for doing something to take care of the Earth. That “something” can be local, national or global. It can be a solo action or involve a crowd. Everyone is free to choose.
The Theme – #BeatPlasticPollution
Each World Environment Day is organized around a theme that draws attention to a particularly pressing environmental concern.
World Environment Day 2023 is a reminder that people’s actions on plastic pollution matters. The steps governments and businesses are taking to tackle plastic pollution are the consequence of this action.
It is time to accelerate this action and transition to a circular economy.
It is time to #BeatPlasticPollution.
The Host
Every World Environment Day has a different host country, where the official celebrations take place. The focus on the host country helps highlight the environmental challenges it faces and supports worldwide efforts to address them.
The host country for 2023 is Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, on the southern coast of West Africa.
