The theme for World Environment Day 2023 is ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’. 

The UN Environment Programme report on 16 May 2023 proposes a mindset change to address the causes of plastic pollution which combines reducing problematic and unnecessary plastic use.

This World Environment Day we need to be reminded that people’s action on plastic pollution matters. The steps that governments and businesses are taking to tackle plastic pollution are the consequence of this united action. It is up to all of us to accelerate this action and transition to a circular economy.
