World Oceans Week 2022
Join our country teams for a series of global hands-on events and impact — #fortheoceans
Every year, people all around our blue planet celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8 – and with much of world now opening up again we’re excited to welcome new faces and volunteers to our beach, coastline, canal, mangrove and underwater cleanup events this year.
Each and every piece of plastic intercepted is a win for our oceans, and collectively we can make a real difference. Beyond gathering important data for researchers, Parley events also offer a chance to learn firsthand from our coordinators and experts – and meet likeminded people in your community.
Beyond taking part in our Run For The Oceans with adidas from absolutely anywhere, you can join our teams on the frontlines in 2022. They have been busy planning an unprecedented global week of action in 10 countries – find an event near you today and join the movement!
