Protecting our planet, and healing what we have already damaged is a task so big, that only together can we succeed. This task cannot be solved without proper Waste Management and ISWA and its network jointly work towards restoring our planet today, and every day.
For World Environment Day, our president and some of our National Members came together to use their voice as part of #GenerationRestoration, calling for the protection of our ecosystems.
Join us in raising attention towards the importance of sustainable and professional waste management in the restoring of our planet.
About World Environment Day
Since 1974, World Environment Day has been celebrated every year on 5 June, engaging governments, businesses and citizens in an effort to address pressing environmental issues.
Theme 2021
For too long, we have been exploiting and destroying our planet’s ecosystems. Every three seconds, the world loses enough forest to cover a football pitch and over the last century we have destroyed half of our wetlands. As much as 50 per cent of our coral reefs have already been lost and up to 90 per cent of coral reefs could be lost by 2050, even if global warming is limited to an increase of 1.5°C.
Ecosystem restoration means preventing, halting and reversing this damage – to go from exploiting nature to healing it. This World Environment Day will kick off the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, a global mission to revive billions of hectares, from forests to farmlands, from the top of mountains to the depth of the sea.
