Refill Day
2023-06-16
World Refill Day is a global campaign to prevent plastic pollution and help people live with less waste.
Along with our planet-protecting partners, and thousands of everyday activists around the world, we’re calling on businesses, brands and governments to join the refill and reuse revolution and help make single-use plastic a thing of the past.
As a global movement, we have the power to create a wave of change. By choosing to reuse, we’re saving millions of pieces of plastic and sending a message to the rest of the world that the solutions to plastic pollution and the climate crisis are there – and together we can keep our environment, oceans, cities and communities plastic-free for the future.
Worldwide, every 16th June.

Desertification and Drought day
2023-06-17
United Nations day to combat desertification and drought.
​There is probably no greater issue than land in the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals that touches everyone. From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear and the houses we live – it all stems from land resources. In order to “leave no one behind” as proclaimed in the new Sustainable Development Goals, achieving land degradation neutrality needs to be in the forefront to meet our requirements and develop sustainability.
Every 17th June. Worldwide.
