On World Environment Day 2025, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres delivers a powerful message urging the global community to unite in the fight against plastic pollution.

Speaking as countries prepare to finalize a historic global treaty to end plastic pollution, the Secretary-General warns that plastic is choking our planet—from the peaks of Everest to the depths of the ocean, and even within our bodies.

But there is hope. Momentum is growing. Around the world, people are demanding change, rethinking how we design, use, and dispose of plastic.

As the Republic of Korea hosts this year’s World Environment Day, the Secretary-General calls for an ambitious, inclusive treaty rooted in circular economy principles—and for urgent action from governments, businesses, and individuals alike.

Together, we can #BeatPlasticPollution and build a cleaner, more sustainable future for all.
