Earth Day 2025: “Our Power, Our Planet” Calls for Clean Energy Revolution

Today is Earth Day. The day is celebrated worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection. The first Earth Day celebrations were held in 1970 after the day was suggested at the UNESCO summit in 1969. The theme for this year is "Our Power, Our Planet".

The day aims to raise awareness about environmental issues and inspiring action to protect our planet. It educates the public on climate change, pollution, and sustainability while mobilising community efforts like clean-ups and tree planting. The day fosters community engagement and promotes eco-friendly practices, encouraging individuals and businesses to adopt sustainable habits. This year's theme urges individuals, groups, and governments to triple the production of clean energy by 2030, emphasizing the pressing need to switch to renewable energy. The campaign highlights how vital it is to lessen dependency on fossil fuels and invest in a sustainable, equitable, and inclusive energy future in order to tackle climate change.
