World Environment Day 2026 calls on everyone to act together for climate action. The campaign emphasizes that every environmental decision made by people, cities, companies and governments is a signal. Sharing a story, joining an initiative, supporting solutions or encouraging others to take action is considered an important step for the climate.

As part of the campaign, local and foreign participants can join by sharing their observations on the impacts of climate change or solutions with the hashtags #NowForClimate and #İndiİqlimNaminə.

The events to be held will be posted on the official World Environment Day platform and presented to an international audience. Organizations and individuals can register their events and activities on the global map, connecting local initiatives to the global movement.

In addition, citizens and organizations can join UNEP's #NowForClimate dance challenge as part of the campaign. Participants can prepare and share a short dance video on social media reflecting joint solidarity on climate action, invite their friends to join the initiative and become part of the global movement.

Information about the event, participation opportunities and other updates are available on the official wed2026.az platform.

The ministry invites state institutions, companies, non-governmental organizations and other partners to join this global campaign with their environmental projects and initiatives.
