ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN

Join us at the 13th World Environmental Education Congress (WEEC) where the theme is “Reconnecting”. This global event invites educators, researchers, policymakers, NGOs and institutions to explore ways to reconnect with nature, each other, diverse cultures, and the Global South and North. Inspired by the ancient supercontinents of Gondwana and Laurasia, the Congress emphasises unity and shared environmental responsibility.

Since 2003, WEEC has served as a vital platform for advancing environmental education, fostering global partnerships, and driving meaningful change. The 13th WEEC will build on the legacy of previous gatherings to offer enriching dialogue, impactful collaborations, and practical solutions for shaping education systems worldwide.

Abstract submissions are now open - be part of the movement.

REFLECTIONS FROM WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 2025

Continuing the Fight Against Plastic Pollution

World Environment Day 2025 has passed, but its message remains more urgent than ever. This year’s theme #BeatPlasticPollution united people across the globe in taking a stand against one of the most critical environmental issues of our time.

But the real work begins now. Will you commit to reducing single-use plastics in your daily life, supporting businesses and initiatives that champion circular solutions, or advocating for stronger, more effective environmental policies in your community? Every choice you make can help shift the tide toward a healthier planet.

Your action, no matter how small, adds to a global movement demanding change. Let’s not lose momentum - the challenge is ongoing, and the planet is counting on us.
