A Global Call for Climate Action
The Earth is already speaking to us—through record-breaking temperatures, more intense wildfires, extreme storms and glaciers disappearing before our eyes.
For years, we have said that limiting global warming to 1.5°C is essential to avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. Today, that threshold is dangerously close to being exceeded—and every fraction of a degree matters.
Climate change is no longer a future threat: it is reshaping life across the planet.
Yet another force is also gaining momentum: collective action. Communities are restoring ecosystems. Young people are driving change. Clean energy is transforming cities and homes. Sustainable solutions are already building a different future.
World Environment Day 2026 reminds us that we still have time to change course. The Earth is sending us signals. The question is: what signal are we going to send in return?
Join the global campaign by UN Environment and act #ForClimateNow. Because protecting the planet also means protecting our health, our communities, and our future.
Why take part?
Time is running out, and nature is in emergency mode. To keep global warming below 1.5°C this century, we must halve annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Without action, exposure to air pollution beyond safe guidelines will increase by 50 per cent within the decade and plastic waste flowing into aquatic ecosystems will nearly triple by 2040.
We need urgent action to address these pressing issues.

What is World Environment Day?
Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and held annually on 5 June since 1973, World Environment Day is the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people across the world. In 2026, it is hosted by the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The celebration has become one of the world’s most far-reaching platforms in support of environmental causes. Tens of millions of people have joined, both virtually and in person, to take part in activities, events, and all kinds of initiatives around the world.
