Clean Up the World Weekend

The campaign’s flagship event is Clean Up the World Weekend, held on the 3rd weekend in September each year. In addition to uniting millions in global environmental action, Clean Up the World Weekend serves as a celebration of participants’ year round activities. By promoting their achievements internationally, Clean Up the World focuses public attention on global community concerns for the environment and how each individual can make a positive contribution to a cleaner and healthier world.

Clean Up the World Weekend

Groups, organisations, schools and businesses from communities around the world unite on Clean Up the World Weekend to take action at a local level to address global environmental issues.

Clean Up the World encourages participants to organise an activity on or around the Weekend and to celebrate their environmental successes achieved throughout the year.

Activities can include clean up’s, tree plantings or environmental awareness raising activities. For inspiration see last year’s Clean Up the World Activity Report.
