World Environment Day Exhibition (WEDex) 2025
2025-06-13 09:30 - 15:00 | United Nations House Nigeria, Abuja, Nigeria
Hello, GreenHubAfrica family! 🌿

We’re thrilled to announce that WEDex 2025 is almost here — and this year, it’s personal. Why? Because the theme for World Environment Day 2025 is:

🧴 “Ending Plastic Pollution”

Let that sink in. Plastic is everywhere — from the deepest ocean trenches to the food on our plates. But here’s the good news: we have the power to turn the tide. And WEDex 2025 is our moment to do just that.

🗑️ Why “Ending Plastic Pollution” Matters

Plastic pollution isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s a health crisis, an economic burden, and a threat to life on Earth. Every year, we dump over 400 million tonnes of plastic waste into our environment, and much of it never degrades. It just breaks down into microplastics that end up in our water, our food, and our bodies.

Africa, with its growing population and limited waste infrastructure, faces unique challenges. But it also holds powerful solutions rooted in innovation, tradition, and community action.

💻 Introducing Our Pre-WEDex 2025 Webinars

Can’t wait for the big event? We’ve got you! Leading up to WEDex, we’re hosting a series of virtual webinars designed to warm up your green mind and gear you up for action.

These online sessions will feature:

🎙️ Experts in plastic waste management 🌍 Local champions sharing real solutions from across Africa 💡 Interactive discussions on policy, innovation, and community action 🎓 Tips for living plastic-free — whether you’re at home, in school, or running a business

Whether you’re just starting your eco-journey or looking to deepen your impact, our webinars will get you inspired, informed, and connected — all from the comfort of your screen.

Stay tuned to our social media for the full schedule and registration info!
