‎The Local Government Unit of Isabela de Basilan under the vibrant and dynamic leadership of City Mayor Sitti Djalia A. Turabin-Hataman through the City Tourism Office is one with the whole world in the celebration of World Environment Day today, June 5, 2026, with the theme: “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For our Future."
‎
‎World Environment Day is celebrated every year on June 5 and serves as the United Nations' principal platform for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the protection of the environment. Established in 1972 during the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment and first observed in 1973, it has since become one of the largest international environmental observances, engaging millions of people across the globe.
‎
‎This year's theme, “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For our Future.”, highlights the vital role of nature in addressing climate change and securing a sustainable future for generations to come. It reminds us that healthy ecosystems, forests, oceans, rivers, and biodiversity are among our strongest allies in building climate resilience and protecting our planet.
‎
‎We call all Isabeleños to join us in our pursuit to protect our environment! Let us do our part in protecting and caring for our environment. Through simple actions such as reducing waste, conserving resources, and keeping our surroundings clean, we can help build a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future for everyone.
