The UN celebrates World Environment Day annually on 5 June. The Day encourages worldwide awareness and action for the protection of the environment. The Day underscores the importance of urgent action to halt biodiversity loss, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, air pollution, and plastic waste and restore the environment.

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) organizes events for World Environment Day. The Day is typically celebrated in over 100 countries and is the largest global platform for environmental public outreach.
