Secretary-General's Message on World Environment Day

Oceans.

Land.

Forests.

Water.

The air that we breathe.

This is our environment.

It is the keystone of a sustainable future.

Without a healthy environment we cannot end poverty or build prosperity.

We all have a role to play in protecting our only home.

We can use less plastics.

Drive less.

Waste less food.

And teach each other to care.

On World Environment Day – and every day – let us reconnect with nature.

Let us cherish the planet that protects us.
