UN-Habitat's Call for Expressions of Interest
UN-Habitat is excited to announce the invitation for expressions of interest to host World Cleanup Day 2026. This year’s theme focuses on an important issue that affects our planet: food loss and waste.
The Urgent Issue of Food Waste
Every year, we generate an astonishing 1.05 billion tons of wasted food globally. This staggering figure highlights the pressing need for effective strategies in sustainable food waste management. The impact of food waste is not just an environmental concern—it's economically detrimental and socially unjust. By addressing this issue, we can pave the way toward a more sustainable future.
Aiming for Sustainable Solutions
World Cleanup Day 2026 aims to bring together communities, organizations, and individuals who are committed to reducing food waste. Participants will explore innovative practices and share success stories that demonstrate sustainable food management techniques.
Join the Movement
If you're passionate about making a difference and have ideas for how your community can contribute to this vital cause, we encourage you to express your interest in hosting this event. Submissions are open until 31 July 2025, and we welcome proposals that aim to engage local communities and raise awareness about the importance of minimizing food loss.
World Cleanup Day 2026 is not just an event; it's a movement toward fostering sustainable food practices worldwide. Let's join hands to tackle food waste and create a healthier planet for future generations. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this transformative initiative—apply now!
