World Environment Day 2026

This year's World Environment Day theme, focused on climate action, reminds us that a healthy environment and healthy workplaces go hand in hand.

As climate change continues to reshape our world, workers are increasingly exposed to risks such as heat stress, extreme weather, poor air quality, and emerging occupational hazards. Protecting the environment is therefore also about protecting people at work.
This World Environment Day, let's reaffirm our commitment to creating safer, healthier and more sustainable workplaces for all.

World Health and Safety Day 2026 - led by the International Labour Organization to raise global awareness and reinforce our shared responsibility to ensure safe and healthy working conditions for all.

This year’s theme, “Ensuring a healthy psychosocial working environment,” highlights the growing importance of work design, leadership and workplace culture in protecting not only physical safety, but also mental health and wellbeing.

Because safe work goes beyond preventing injuries—it’s about creating environments where people can thrive, with dignity, respect and support at every level.

This report examines how the psychosocial working environment is shaped by elements of work and interactions at work related to how jobs are designed, how work is organized and managed, and the broader policies, practices and procedures that govern work.
