Bridging Business Growth, Community Involvement and Women’s Empowerment
As businesses and investors increasingly recognize the business case and ethical imperative for women’s empowerment and involving the community in product and service design, the need for robust and relevant measurement frameworks becomes critical. This session will highlight the relationship between business and social metrics, demonstrating why Return on Investment (ROI), is an important metric that can be further enhanced through qualitative data and storytelling. We will showcase how a broader understanding of value creation through community engagement and technical assistance measurement strategies can both improve social impact and business benefits. Drawing on the rich history of organizations working on community engagement, technical assistance, women’s empowerment and evaluation, this session will offer practical insights and future directions for effective measurement in this space.

2025World Environment Day Celebration 2025 | Multilateral Geneva Collectively Acting to Beat Plastic Pollution
This year’s World Environment Day focus is on ending plastic pollution and comes exactly two months before countries meet in Geneva to continue negotiating a global treaty to end plastic pollution. At the Geneva Celebration, leading experts will highlight how the international Geneva multilateral diplomacy system is collectively taking action to tackle plastic pollution.The 2025 edition of World Environment Day focuses on putting an end to plastic pollution. For decades, plastic pollution has seeped into every corner of the world, leaching into the water we drink, into the food we eat, and our bodies. While plastic pollution is a major concern, it is also one of the most fixable of today’s environmental challenges, with some obvious solutions at hand. This year’s World Environment Day observance comes as countries make progress towards securing a global treaty to end plastic pollution, including in the marine environment. In November 2024, the Republic of Korea hosted the fifth session of negotiations to develop a plastic pollution treaty, and is this year the official host of World Environment Day. The fifth session of the international negotiation committee will resume in Geneva from 5 to 14 August 2025.
