As the world faces the growing challenge of climate change, radio remains a vital medium for spreading awareness, educating audiences and encouraging collective action.

Proclaimed in 2011 by UNESCO Member States and approved by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as the United Nations International Day, February 13 became World Radio Day (WRD).

The theme of World Radio Day 2025 is Radio and Climate Change: A Powerful Tool for Climate Action.

As the Paris Agreement assumes great importance, radio contributes to achieving its international objectives by supporting the population in the face of climate change through the dissemination of fact-based information, listener voices, and dedicated radio broadcasts.

Whether through community radio stations broadcasting local climate news, national networks raising awareness of global environmental challenges, or global stations promoting international climate agreements, radio helps amplify voices and unite people around a shared commitment to protecting our planet.
