The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) invites Member States to submit expressions of interest to host the global observance of World Environment Day in 2028 or 2029, providing a platform to showcase national environmental leadership and priorities.

World Environment Day, led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and observed annually on 5 June since 1973, is the world’s largest platform for environmental outreach, engaging millions of people and bringing together governments, businesses, civil society, and communities to address pressing environmental issues.

Hosting the global observance offers countries a unique opportunity to demonstrate environmental leadership, highlight national priorities, and showcase solutions to a worldwide audience through high-level participation, global media coverage, and UNEP’s advocacy campaign.

Host countries are responsible for organizing and funding in-country events and must contribute USD 1.1 million to UNEP in support of the global World Environment Day campaign, which includes multilingual storytelling, international outreach, partnerships, and media coverage.

Expressions of interest are open to all UNEP Member States, and joint hosting by two or more countries is welcome. The host country’s role includes shaping the global conversation, convening partners, and leveraging UNEP’s global campaign to extend national stories and initiatives.
