EARTHDAY‍.ORG to Host Monumental ‘Earth Week’ in Honor of 2023 Theme, Invest in Our Planet



Pioneering Unified Thought & Action Through Farthest Reaching Global Efforts to Date



EARTHDAY‍.ORG, the global organizer of Earth Day and largest recruiter of the environmental movement worldwide, announced today the launch of ‘Earth Week’ in honor of this year’s theme: Invest in Our Planet. Consisting of a series of Earth Day Lives and mobilizing the masses through major events in every time zone, Earth Week will pioneer EARTHDAY‍.ORG’s farthest reaching efforts to date by amplifying inspiration and action from April 14th to April 22nd worldwide.



“By engaging governments, businesses, institutions, and the more than 1 billion people who participate in Earth Day annually we can solve the world’s greatest problem: climate change.” said Kathleen Rogers, President of EARTHDAY‍.ORG, “There is unlimited opportunity to right the wrongs of past actions and build a new version of society. But, we have a very short window of time and we need everyone to Invest in Our Planet now!”



Originating from the first virtual celebration of Earth Day in 2020, EARTHDAY‍.ORG’s Earth Day Live event series explores Earth’s urgent environmental issues and examines a variety of approaches to protect our shared home. Topics include climate restoration, regenerative agriculture, environment and social justice, supply chain resilience, plastic pollution, resource scarcity, food security, the green economy, biodiversity restoration, universal climate literacy, and more while panelists range from public and private sector leaders to activists, scientists, influencers and beyond.
