In France, radio channels NRJ Rennes and NRJ Saint-Brieuc are sending powerful soundwaves for World Environment Day, amplifying a clear signal for climate action. 

In the lead up, radio spots will be broadcast throughout the day, inviting listeners to tune in and raise their voices for the climate. The momentum will build towards an exciting NRJ Green Live in Rennes on 5 June, where music, action, and community come together to deliver one clear message: we must act #NowForClimate. 

Listeners can earn an invitation to the NRJ Green Live concert by participating in a clean-up event or sharing their own eco-friendly project with NRJ. It's a chance to blend music, impact, and engagement.

More than a decade after the Paris Agreement was signed, the world continues to pump out greenhouse gasses at a record pace. 

These releases – which mostly come from burning fossil fuels – are superheating the planet and changing the Earth’s climate in often disastrous ways. 

But experts say humanity still has time to rein in greenhouse gas emissions and avoid the worst of climate change. 

By walking more, tweaking your diet and conserving energy, you can help the world avoid a full-blown climate catastrophe.

World Environment Day 2026 is calling people everywhere to move together for climate action, and the limbo dance is a fun way to join in. As part of UNEP’s #NowForClimate dance campaign, the challenge invites participants to create a simple, repeatable dance video that anyone can copy, remix, and share.

The message is clear: How low can we go for the planet? How low can emissions fall if we act together? Anytime from the 15th of May, film your limbo anywhere—at home, work, school, or outdoors—and share it online using #NowForClimate while tagging @UNEP.

Every video is a signal. Every signal builds momentum toward a safer climate future. Bend low, hit play, and pass it on because climate action starts now.

World Environment Day 2025 served as a powerful reminder that people everywhere want an end to plastic pollution.

As host of this year’s commemoration, the Republic of Korea underscored its leadership in global environmental diplomacy. Under the theme “Shared Challenge, Collective Action,” the official ceremony brought together delegations from 19 countries and representatives of major international organizations.

UNEP’s #BeatPlasticPollution campaign shed light on the deepening plastic pollution crisis—now infiltrating oceans, soils, and even human bodies through microplastics. The campaign resonated worldwide: from Times Square to Beijing Airport, UNEP’s messages filled billboards and public spaces, while governments rolled out new initiatives, signaling a growing global will to tackle plastic pollution.

The momentum ignited from World Environment Day 2025 will carry forward, continuing to drive action to #BeatPlasticPollution and move us toward a cleaner, healthier world.
