UN International Mother Earth Day 2025 recognises the earth and its ecosystem as humanity's common home and the need to protect them to enhance people’s livelihoods and counteract climate change.
One of Ipieca’s core roles is to raise awareness and support for UN conventions and initiatives, and develop good practice guidance to support these.
To mark International Mother Earth Day 2025 Ipieca is sharing a selection of its guidance and resources to support environmentally responsible operations across the oil, gas and alternative energy sector, minimise and mitigate risks and impacts from operations and products, and contribute to nature positive outcomes:
