Plastic pollution now touches every part of our lives - from ocean depths to city streets, from remote landscapes to human bloodstreams. This year, the Republic of Korea hosts World Environment Day with a global appeal: End Plastic Pollution.
Plastic is no longer just an environmental issue. It is an urgent public health, social, and economic challenge. As urban populations grow, so too does the responsibility - and opportunity - for cities to lead the response.
URBAN ACTION IS GLOBAL ACTION
Cities are where change happens fastest. Whether by rethinking consumption, investing in alternatives, or empowering local communities, urban areas can shape a global shift. This World Environment Day, take meaningful steps to:
Reduce plastic production and use
Eliminate single-use items
Support sustainable design and innovation
Engage and educate your community
Partner with others committed to circular change
