How can we integrate sustainability into our annual goals? The year 2025 is full of opportunities to act, learn and generate positive change. We invite you to discover this environmental calendar and include in your diary the key dates for the environment, sustainability and the Circular Economy.
January: Start the year with a Green Purpose
January is the month of new beginnings, and what better way to start the year than with a firm purpose to care for the environment?
This month invites us to think about the natural world around us, from the animals that live at the poles to the small changes we can make in our daily lives to reduce our environmental footprint.
(19) World Snow Day: Snow beautifies landscapes and is also crucial for ecosystems and climate regulation. Snow-covered mountains are reserves of fresh water. Did you know that climate change is affecting snow cycles in many parts of the world?
Did you know that 70% of the water used for human consumption comes from regions with snow? How can we preserve this vital resource?
(20) Penguin Awareness Day: Penguins are a symbol of wildlife endangered by climate change. More than 60% of penguin species are at risk of extinction. Let’s reflect on how our daily actions impact their future. What actions are we taking to protect their habitat?
(21) World Squirrel Day: Squirrels are indicators of the health of our forests. Are we protecting their habitats to ensure their survival?
(26) World Environmental Education Day: Environmental education is key to a sustainable future. Can we adopt greener habits, at home and at work, and at any age? Have you thought about how? Take advantage of this day to involve your team or your family in creating an annual sustainability plan.
(26) International Clean Energy Day: The transition to clean energy sources is urgent. Switching to renewable energy is not just an option, it is a necessity. If every home installed solar panels, we could reduce millions of tons of CO2 per year because renewable energy is the way to live on a healthier planet.
(28) World Day for the Reduction of CO2 Emissions: 40% of greenhouse gas emissions come from the energy we consume. Are you taking advantage of renewable energy? What steps do you take on a daily basis or have you considered taking to reduce your carbon footprint?

(3) International Day without Straws: They seem harmless but have a great impact. Reducing the use of single-use plastics is a small gesture that can have a big impact. Will you join the challenge of eliminating plastic straws and drinking with paper straws?
(5) World Weather Day: Climate change is altering our weather patterns: summers are getting warmer and winters less cold. In addition, spring and autumn are almost disappearing and we cannot enjoy the intermediate seasons. How can we adapt and reduce our vulnerability to these changes? Investing in renewable energy and reducing our carbon footprint are important steps.
(11) World Day of Women and Girls in Science: Access to science and technology is key to moving towards a sustainable future. Despite the advances, only 35% of researchers worldwide are women. Let’s encourage female participation in these fields. How can you support the inclusion of women and girls in science and technology?
(14) World Energy Day: Energy is essential for our well-being, but we must consume it responsibly and efficiently. Every kilowatt hour we save prevents the emission of 500 grams of CO2 into the atmosphere. Did you know that switching off appliances on standby can make a difference? Are you taking steps to save energy?
(17 to 23) European Week to Combat Energy Poverty: Energy poverty is a growing problem in Europe. More than 50 million people in Europe cannot keep their homes at an adequate temperature.

What actions can you take to protect them and conserve their biodiversity? Planting trees, reducing paper use or supporting reforestation projects are direct actions that you can incorporate into your daily life.
(21) World Glacier Day: Glaciers are disappearing rapidly due to climate change. Their loss implies an increase in sea level. If the rate of melting continues, more than two-thirds of the planet’s glaciers will disappear by 2100. What are we doing to slow down this process? Do you know what could happen if we do nothing to prevent it?
(22) World Water Day: Water is a vital but finite resource. We must promote its conservation and responsible use. Every drop counts: repairing a leaky tap can save up to 20 litres of water a day. What changes can you implement today? How can you reduce your water consumption and consume it efficiently without wasting it?
(23) World Meteorological Day: The climate is changing at an accelerated rate. According to the IPCC, the increase in global temperature could reach up to 1.5°C in the next 20 years if we do not take urgent measures.

(26) World Climate Day: Climate change is an undeniable reality that affects our planet with extreme temperatures and loss of biodiversity, but we can still take concrete measures to mitigate it. What are you doing today to contribute to the fight against climate change? How can your daily decisions contribute to the fight against climate change? From reducing the use of plastics and opting for sustainable transport, to supporting renewable energy policies, our daily decisions can make a big difference. Let’s make World Climate Day a turning point towards a greener and more sustainable future.
(29) Earth Hour: Turning off the lights for one hour may seem like just a small gesture, but if millions of people around the world do it, the impact will be huge. In 2023 and 2024, more than 180 countries participated in this event. Are you willing to join this year and show that we can all contribute to the fight against climate change?
(30) International Zero Waste Day: The circular economy promotes an endless cycle of reducing, reusing and recycling materials. If circular economy practices were implemented, we could reduce global emissions by 39% by 2030. What else can you do to reduce your waste? Think about how to give objects a second life before getting rid of them: can you repair, donate or transform something instead of throwing it away? The key is to change our habits towards more conscious and responsible consumption. At TMA we are Zero Waste.
