Thursday, June 5, 2025: World Environment Day

World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5 each year by the United Nations to encourage global action in favor of protecting both land and marine environments.
This year’s theme is: “Fighting Plastic Pollution”.

Celebrated in over 100 countries since its launch in 1974, this day has become a global platform for raising public awareness.

The Government has implemented several actions and measures to combat plastic use, including:

• banning plastic bags since 2016,

• prohibiting single-use plastic packaging,

• promoting awareness of alternatives to plastic packaging,

• organizing beach cleanups…
