Activities such as cleaning up local parks and waterways, planting trees, conducting walk-to-school or work days and organizing environmental education exercises will be undertaken. Member organizations will register their local activities with United Nations Environment Programme. Clean Up the World is a non-profit, non-government, apolitical organization that unites communities with a common focus to clean up the world. Now celebrating its 15th year, Clean Up the World, held in conjunction with the United Nations Environment Programme, mobilizes an estimated 35 million volunteers from more than 120 countries annually making it one of the largest community based environmental campaigns in the world. While members’ activities can be conducted throughout the year, including on World Environment Day, Clean Up the World’s flagship event is the Clean Up the World Weekend, 14 - 16 September 2007. Organizations in any city, town or village across the globe can get involved by becoming a Clean Up the World Member. For more information, please contact: FINLAND Joensuu The play is an original idea from ENO Programme and is part of the initiatives of the ENO Tree Planting Campaign 2007. The manuscript is made by a Finnish writer and artist, Esko-Pekka Tiitinen and the music and the translation are by Mika Vanhanen. Children and youth from all over the world will perform the play which will last about 15-20 minutes and will include four songs which are available in 10 languages. The universal premier will be held on 29 May in every continent, in at least 65 countries to celebrate World Environment Day. For more information, please contact: NORWAY Tromsø

In 2007, the theme of Climate Change will be addressed from a global perspective - the melting and thawing of ice, snow and permafrost are environment-altering changes taking place around the world - from the Andes to the Himalayas to the melting ice caps of the Poles. The Opening Reception will feature a VIP Reception for Envisioning Change at 17:00; the Green Leaf Artist Award Ceremony at 17:30; and an outdoor concert with cultural performances at 18:00. The opening reception includes speeches by environmental celebrities, featuring Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Wangari Maathai. For more information, please contact:
