World Environment Day 2018| DJJS Sanrakshan through its annual Rebuild Campaign urges masses to stand up for 'BEAT PLASTIC POLLUTION'. DJJS DMK branch organised a mass sensitization program on WED 2018.

Images Korea Republic where the UN Environment Programme Executive Director had a interview with a Haenyeo. The Haenyeo are female free divers of Jeju Island in South Korea. They are a unique and dwindling group of women who dive without breathing apparatus to collect seafood, seaweed and plastic pollutants.They are known for their incredible ability to hold their breath for extended periods and dive to depths of up to 20 meters. The Haenyeo culture is recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

Background info:

World Environment Day in 2025 will focus on ending plastic pollution. The Republic of Korea will host the global celebrations.

For decades, plastic pollution has seeped into every corner of the world, leaching into the water we drink, into the food we eat, and our bodies. While plastic pollution is a major concern, it is also one of the most fixable of today’s environmental challenges, with some obvious solutions at hand.

World Environment Day joins the UNEP-led #BeatPlasticPollution this year to mobilize communities worldwide to implement and advocate for solutions. World Environment Day will spotlight the growing scientific evidence on the impacts of plastic pollution and drive momentum to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink plastics use. It will also reinforce the global commitment made in 2022to end plastic pollution through a global plastic pollution treaty.

Jeju Province in the Republic of Korea was chosen as the host location for World Environment Day. In 2022, the province declared a vision to become free of plastic pollution by 2040. Jeju is the only province in the country where household waste must be disposed of at designated recycling support centers. The system requires waste separation from the source, driving higher recycling rates and ensuring more waste is repurposed. Also, Jeju is the first province to introduce a disposable cup deposit system in the Republic of Korea.

Il 5 giugno 2023 è la Giornata mondiale per l'ambiente, una iniziativa globale promossa dal Programma delle Nazioni Unite per l'ambiente che mira a sensibilizzare sulla necessità di preservare il nostro pianeta. Il tema di quest'anno è #BeatPlasticPollution e tutte le attività saranno focalizzate sulla lotta contro l'inquinamento da plastica. Si prefigura un futuro più sostenibile, basato su un'economia circolare, in cui ogni individuo può contribuire al raggiungimento degli obiettivi ambientali. Anche piccoli gesti quotidiani, se effettuati da tutti, possono fare una grande differenza nella tutela del nostro pianeta.

"La data fu scelta per ricordare la prima Conferenza delle Nazioni Unite sull’ambiente tenutasi a Stoccolma dal 5 al 16 giugno del 1972, in quell’occasione venne adottata la Dichiarazione di Stoccolma che definì i 26 principi sui diritti e le responsabilità dell’uomo in relazione all’ambiente.

Attualmente la Terra sta affrontando una triplice emergenza:

- l’atmosfera si sta riscaldando troppo rapidamente perché l’uomo e la natura possano adattarsi;

- la perdita di habitat fa sì che, secondo le stime, 1 milione di specie siano a rischio di estinzione;

- l’inquinamento continua ad avvelenare l’aria, la terra e l’acqua.

UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa celebrated World Oceans's Day with various awareness raising activities

in the South of Kenya, starting from a #BeatPlasticPollution clean up initiative in the

Indian Ocean, engaging students and youth in protecting our oceans and environment and a continued conversation around Blue and Green Entrepreneurship.

In the words of the UNESCO Director-General: “No country alone is capable of measuring changes in the ocean, nor of cleaning and protecting it. Through international cooperation, technology

transfer and knowledge sharing, we can succeed in developing environmentally friendly policies that promote sustainable growth based on the ocean.”

World Environment Day in 2025 will focus on ending plastic pollution. The Republic of Korea will host the global celebrations.

For decades, plastic pollution has seeped into every corner of the world, leaching into the water we drink, into the food we eat, and our bodies. While plastic pollution is a major concern, it is also one of the most fixable of today’s environmental challenges, with some obvious solutions at hand.

World Environment Day joins the UNEP-led #BeatPlasticPollution this year to mobilize communities worldwide to implement and advocate for solutions. World Environment Day will spotlight the growing scientific evidence on the impacts of plastic pollution and drive momentum to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink plastics use. It will also reinforce the global commitment made in 2022to end plastic pollution through a global plastic pollution treaty.

Jeju Province in the Republic of Korea was chosen as the host location for World Environment Day. In 2022, the province declared a vision to become free of plastic pollution by 2040. Jeju is the only province in the country where household waste must be disposed of at designated recycling support centers. The system requires waste separation from the source, driving higher recycling rates and ensuring more waste is repurposed. Also, Jeju is the first province to introduce a disposable cup deposit system in the Republic of Korea.

UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa celebrated World Oceans's Day with various awareness raising activities

in the South of Kenya, starting from a #BeatPlasticPollution clean up initiative in the

Indian Ocean, engaging students and youth in protecting our oceans and environment and a continued conversation around Blue and Green Entrepreneurship.

In the words of the UNESCO Director-General: “No country alone is capable of measuring changes in the ocean, nor of cleaning and protecting it. Through international cooperation, technology

transfer and knowledge sharing, we can succeed in developing environmentally friendly policies that promote sustainable growth based on the ocean.”

8 June 2018 Kenya

Images Korea Republic where the UN Environment Programme Executive Director had a interview with a Haenyeo. The Haenyeo are female free divers of Jeju Island in South Korea. They are a unique and dwindling group of women who dive without breathing apparatus to collect seafood, seaweed and plastic pollutants.They are known for their incredible ability to hold their breath for extended periods and dive to depths of up to 20 meters. The Haenyeo culture is recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
