Over the past five decades, the day has grown to be one of the largest global platforms for environmental outreach. Tens of millions of people take part along with governments, companies, cities and community organizations.

'This year we spotlight solutions to plastic pollution", it said.

More than 400 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year worldwide, half of which is designed to be used only once. Of that, less than 10 per cent is recycled. An estimated 19-23 million tonnes end up in lakes, rivers and seas annually.

The POP (Protect Our Planet) Movement has partnerd with TERI - The Energy and Resources Institute as an Outreach Partner for their annual flagship event, the World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS), scheduled to be held from February 22-24, 2023. The Summit deliberations will focus on the umbrella theme, ‘Mainstreaming Sustainable Development and Climate Resilience for Collective Action.’ It is increasingly being recognized that our political, environmental, and commercial activities, in addition to the mechanisms and tools within policymaking, are often carried out in departmental silos and lack a systemic approach. A consequence of this has been us missing out on the opportunity to act collectively towards sustainable development and further climate action.

On the occasion of World Environment Day and launch of “Decade on Restoration” by United Nations Environment Programme, Act Now, organized a unique 24-hour event, “Peace Is Green-Every Act Matters”, the longest environment online event in the world.

Tim Christophersen, head of UNEP’s Nature for Climate Branch, Ecosystems Division inaugurated the event, along with Dr Bishwajit Saha, Director of Central Board of Secondary Education, Govt of India. “It is no longer enough just to protect what we have, we have to go beyond that and restore, not only to halt the loss of biodiversity, but also to meet the Paris Agreement ’s climate targets”, Tim said.
