World Environment Day 2025: acting against plastic pollution

For 5 June 2025, ACIEA calls on every citizen and institution to act against plastic pollution.

Every 5 June, the world marks World Environment Day, established by the United Nations in 1972. In 2025 its theme was “Beat plastic pollution”, a threat that chokes ecosystems, pollutes soil and water and endangers people’s health.

ACIEA calls on every citizen, institution and economic and social actor to act, through simple steps:

  • cut single-use plastic;
  • choose biodegradable or reusable packaging;
  • consume responsibly;
  • support green innovation and sustainable local solutions.

For a clean, resilient Burkina Faso looking towards an ecological future.
