UNEP raises awareness and advocates for effective action on pressing environmental challenges. UNEP communicates directly with decisionmakers and people worldwide – both within and beyond the environmental community – to inspire positive change in households, businesses, cities and countries around the globe.
UNEP's campaigns inform, inspire and commit people around the globe to act for the planet. UNEP harnesses the influence of Goodwill Ambassadors and prominent voices, combined with multilingual outreach through diverse channels and partners. This powerful advocacy supports the implementation of United Nations Environment Assembly resolutions, advances UNEP's programme of work, and helps drive progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals.
World Environment Day observed annually on 5 June, is the biggest international day for the environment. Led by UNEP and held annually since 1973, it has grown to become a widely celebrated, global platform for public outreach.
