Calls for collective action to tackle plastic pollution on June 5, this day established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. Over the past five decades, the Day has grown to be one of the largest global platforms for environmental outreach. Tens of millions of people participate online and through in-person activities, events and actions around the world.

By drawing inspiration from nature and showcasing real-world solutions, the campaign asks all of us to adopt sustainable practices that drive systemic change. From schools and community groups to businesses, cities, and governments, everyone is encouraged to host an event focused on #BeatPlasticPollution or environmental action.

This year’s World Environment Day comes exactly two months before countries meet again to continue negotiating a global treaty to end plastic pollution.

Join the #BeatPlasticPollution movement—because together we can create a healthier future. Learn how everyone can prevent plastic pollution.
