We cannot tackle the climate emergency without nature. Yet, nature is in crisis. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is the world’s roadmap out of it. Here‘s how: unep.org/resources/kunming-m…

Accelerating clean energy and ending waste burning will lead to healthier lives, cleaner skies, more prosperous economies, and a safer climate for billions.   September 7 is #CleanAirDay: cleanairblueskies.org/about/…

The planet will keep getting hotter, even with ongoing efforts to slow the temperature rise. But choices exist.   Every fraction of a degree prevented, and every year by which the overshoot period is shortened, will save lives, protect ecosystems, and reduce economic losses.  Find out more: unep.org/resources/limiting-…

Global warming is on track to cross 1.5°C.  Three phases should drive the global response: immediate action, containment, and long-term resilience.  Making that happen will require political will, stronger multilateralism & governance that puts equity and justice at the core: unep.org/resources/limiting-…

Chemicals used in textile production can harm workers, consumers and ecosystems. UNEP’s InTex programme helps small businesses cut hazardous substances and move toward cleaner production to #BeatPollution. This factsheet explains how: ow.ly/kF6x50XOrfn

Air pollution can cost countries up to 6.1% of GDP every year.  The clock is ticking in the race for clean air, and there are no valid excuses to slow action.  Organizing an event to mark #CleanAirDay? Register it here: cleanairblueskies.org/get-in…

Investing in nature-based solutions can accelerate the shift to a low-carbon economy and build a more resilient and sustainable energy future for all. Discover how the Global Biodiversity Framework supports the #GlobalGoals for affordable energy and clean energy: unep.org/interactives/biodiv…

#OneHealth recognizes that the health of people, animals and the environment goes hand in hand. UNEP is in Lisbon for #WOHC2026, highlighting how protecting ecosystems, preventing pollution and reducing harmful releases can help prevent health risks at their source. Follow along: bit.ly/3UuvUd6

Brazil’s Cerrado Savannah is making a comeback.  Known as the world's most biodiverse tropical savannah, communities are coming together to restore its native vegetation, over half of which was lost to human activities.  Check out this newly recognized #GenerationRestoration initiative: decadeonrestoration.org/rest…

A rising tide of plastic pollution is contaminating land, sea and air and increasingly finding its way into our bodies as microplastics. UNEP is working with countries to tackle this threat and create a more circular economy which is good for both people and the planet. More in our Annual Report: unep.org/annualreport/

Nearly 9 in 10 premature deaths from air pollution happen in low- and middle-income countries, where the most vulnerable are least protected, further worsening global inequalities.  In the race for clean air, no one should be left behind. September 7 is #CleanAirDay: cleanairblueskies.org/did-yo…

Much of our planet has been reshaped by unsustainable human activity, with forests cleared, lands degraded, and 1 million species pushed toward extinction. In 2025, UNEP helped countries turn this around by promoting better governance of natural spaces and ensuring communities benefit from conservation. Explore more: unep.org/annualreport/

Climate change is undermining not just the health of our planet, but the health of people everywhere –through toxic air pollution, food insecurity, extreme heat, drought, floods and more. @UN explains how taking climate action provides immediate health benefits: un.org/en/climatechange/scie…

Air pollution and climate change are linked, and so are the solutions.   Shifting to clean energy, electric transport, and better waste management means cleaner air, a cooler planet and healthier lives and livelihoods.  Learn more ahead of Monday’s #CleanAirDay: ow.ly/8L6T50ZJsO3
