Event poster

Now more than ever, we need to make peace with nature. This is the moment for us all to come together and reimagine the world in which we live. Given the deep pain of the past year, this World Environment Day on June 5 is a good time to revisit how we can move forward to restore our communities, our ecosystems, and our climate, especially since it also marks the official start of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

To mark this moment, a virtual celebration of restoration and recovery will bring together musicians, poets, thought leaders, politicians and youth activists on June 4 to inspire people around the globe to discover ways in which they can step up and take action.

Among those taking part will be UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres; UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen; UN Goodwill Ambassadors and musicians Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson, Indigenous activist Pennie Opal Plant and youth poet Jordan Sanchez, whose special spoken word poem for World Environment Day is here.
