February 13 is World Radio Day (WRD) as proclaimed in 2011 by the Member States of UNESCO, and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 as an International Day.
The theme for the 13th edition of the World Radio Day, Radio and Climate Change, celebrates the many opportunities that radio broadcasting brings for giving prominence to climate change issues.
2025 marks a pivotal year for climate change. In accordance with the Paris Agreement, if humanity is to limit global warming to 1.5°C, greenhouse gas emissions must peak by that year at the latest, before they begin to fall.
While the Paris Agreement takes on capital importance, radio contributes to the achievement of its international objectives by supporting populations in the face of climate change through the dissemination of fact-based information, listeners’ voices and dedicated radio shows.
To support radio stations in their journalistic coverage of this issue, UNESCO is offering a networking experience and some useful resources to celebrate WRD2025.

Your radio station will also have the chance to connect with a radio station in another locality or country. Thanks to these collaborations, you will be able to exchange programs, guests, sound archives, and even consider a longer-term relationship beyond February 13, 2025.
