The Ellen MacArthur Foundation (United Kingdom), honoured in the Inspiration and Action category, has played a leading role in mainstreaming a lifecycle approach, including for plastics. The foundation has published reports and established networks of private and public sector decision makers, as well as academia, to develop lifecycle initiatives and solutions to the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, plastic pollution and more. It leads the Global Commitment with UNEP. #EarthChamps #BeatPlasticPollution

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.”

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.

Despite frequent beach clean-ups and bold murals urging us the need to protect the ocean, Wellawatte Beach has once again been overwhelmed by plastic waste. The monsoon rains have washed ashore quite a large amount of bottles and trash, a stark reminder that awareness alone isn’t enough. The messages are loud on the walls, but the shore tells another story. 🌊😔
