World Environment Day was established in 1972
by the United Nations at the Stockholm
Conference on the Human Environment (5–16
June 1972), that had resulted from discussions on
the integration of human interactions and the
environment. One year later, in 1973 the first WED
was held with the theme "Only One Earth".[6]

Annual themes and major
initiatives and
accomplishments
For almost five decades, World Environment Day
has been raising awareness, supporting action,
and driving changes for the environment. Here is
a timeline of key accomplishments in WEDs'
history:

2005

Standard WED banners hung in San Francisco in May 2005

The theme for the 2005 World Environment Day
was "Green Cities" and the slogan was "Plant for the
Planet!".[14]

2006

The topic for WED 2006 was Deserts and

Desertification and the slogan was "Don't desert
drylands".[15]

The slogan emphasised the importance of

protecting drylands. The main international
celebrations of the World Environment Day 2006
were held in Algeria.
2007

The topic for World Environment Day for 2007 was

"Melting Ice – a Hot Topic?" During International
Polar Year, WED 2007 focused on the effects that
climate change is having on polar ecosystems and
communities, on other ice- and snow-covered
areas of the world, and the resulting global
impacts.

The main international celebrations of the WED

2007 were held in the city of Tromsø, Norway, a
city north of the Arctic Circle.[16]

Egypt issued a postage stamp for the 2007 World

Environment Day.[17]
2008

The host for World Environment Day 2008 was

New Zealand, with the main international
celebrations scheduled for Wellington. The slogan
for 2008 was "CO2, Kick the Habit! Towards a Low
Carbon Economy." New Zealand was one of the
first countries to pledge to achieve carbon-
neutrality, and will also focus on forest
management as a tool for reducing greenhouse
gases.[18]

The Chicago Botanic Garden served as the North

American host[19] for World Environment Day on 5
June 2008.
2009

The theme for WED 2009 was "Your Planet Needs

You – UNite to Combat Climate Change", and
Michael Jackson's "Earth Song" was declared
"World Environment Day Song". It was hosted in
Mexico.[20]

2010

"Many Species. One Planet. One Future", was the

theme of 2010.

It celebrated the diversity of life on Earth as part

of the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity. It
was hosted in Rwanda. Thousands of activities
were organized worldwide, with beach clean-ups,
concerts, exhibits, film festivals, community events
and much more.[21] Each continent (except
Antarctica) had a "regional host city", the U.N.
chose Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as the host for all
North.[22]

2011

The world environment day of 2011 was hosted by

India. It was the 1st time for India to host the day.
The theme for 2011 was 'Forests – Nature At Your
Service'. Thousands of activities were organized
worldwide, with beach clean-ups, concerts,
exhibits, film festivals, community events, tree
plantings[23] and much more.
2012

The theme for the 2012 World Environment Day

was Green Economy.[24]

The theme aimed to invite people to examine their

activities and lifestyle and see how the concept of
a "Green Economy" fits into it. The host country for
the year's celebrations was Brazil.[24]

2013

The 2013 theme for World Environment Day was

"[Link]".[25]

The campaign addressed the huge annual

wastage and losses in food, which, if conserved,
would release a large quantity of food as well as
reduce the overall carbon footprint. The campaign
aimed to bring about awareness in countries with
lifestyles resulting in food wastage. It also aimed
to empower people to make informed choices about
the food they eat so as to reduce the overall
ecological impact due to the worldwide production
of food.[25] The host country for the year's
celebrations was Mongolia.

2014

The Theme of the 2014 WED was International

Year of Small Islands Developing States (SIDS).
By choosing this Theme the UN General
Assembly aimed to highlight the development
Challenges and successes of the SIDS. In 2014,
the World Environment Day focused on global
warming and its impact on ocean levels.[26] The
Slogan of the WED 2014 is "Raise your voice not
the sea level", as Barbados hosted the global
celebrations of the 42nd edition of the World
Environment Day.[27][28] The UN Environment
Programme named actor Ian Somerhalder as the
official Goodwill ambassador of the WED 2014.[29]

2015

The Slogan of the 2015 edition of the World

Environment Day is "Seven Billion Dreams. One
Planet. Consume with Care". The slogan was
picked through a voting process on social
media.[30][31] In Saudi Arabia, 15 women recycled
2000 plastic bags to crochet a mural in support of
the WED 2015.[32] In India, Narendra Modi planted
a Kadamb sapling to celebrate the World
Environment Day and raise awareness for
Environment.[33][34] Italy is the host country of the
43rd edition of the WED. The celebrations took
place as part of Milan Expo around the theme:
Feeding the Planet – Energy for Life.[35]

2016

The 2016 WED was organized under the theme "Go

wild for life". This edition of the WED aims to
reduce and prevent the illegal trade in wildlife.[36]
Angola was chosen as the host country of the 2016
WED during the COP21 in Paris.[37][38]
2017

Activities for World Environment Day in Bhopal, India

The theme for 2017 was 'Connecting People to

Nature – in the city and on the land, from the
poles to the equator'. The host nation was
Canada.[39]

2018

The theme for 2018 was "Beat Plastic Pollution".

The host nation was India.[40] By choosing this
theme, it is hoped that people may strive to change
their everyday lives to reduce the heavy burden of
plastic pollution. People should be free from the
over-reliance on single-use or disposables, as they
have severe environmental consequences. We
should liberate our natural places, our wildlife and
our own health from plastics.[41] The Indian
government pledged to eliminate all single use of
plastic in India by 2022.[42]

2019

The theme for 2019 was "Beat Air Pollution". The

host nation was China. This theme was chosen as
air pollution kills about 7 million people
annually.[43]
In Réunion Island, Miss Earth 2018 Nguyễn
Phương Khánh from Vietnam delivered her
speech during World Environment Day with the
theme "How to fight global warming".[44]

2020

The theme for 2020 was "Time for Nature", and

was hosted in Colombia in partnership with
Germany.[12]

Colombia is one of the largest megadiverse

countries in the world and holds close to 10% of
the planet's biodiversity. Since it is part of the
Amazon rainforest, Colombia ranks first in bird
and orchid species diversity and second in plants,
butterflies, freshwater fish, and amphibians.
2021

The World Environment Day falls on June 5. The

theme for 2021 is "Ecosystem Restoration",[45] and
was hosted by Pakistan. On this occasion UN
Decade of Ecosystem Restoration was also
launched.[46][47]

2022

The World Environment Day theme for 2022 is

"Only One Earth" and the event was hosted by
Sweden.
2023

The World Environment Day theme for 2023 is

"Solution to plastic pollution" and the event was
hosted by Côte d'Ivoire. It 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.[48]
