World Lake Day is an international day commemorated every August 27. The World Lake Day resolution was co-proposed by 74 states, including Indonesia, as an initiator and adopted by consensus at the 79th Plenary Session of the UN General Assembly, held in New York, United States, on December 12, 2024. This date was chosen because it marks the opening day of the first World Lake Conference, or the Shiga Conference '84 on Conservation and Management of the World Lake Environment, held in August 1984 in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
All UN member states, international organizations, and other relevant stakeholders are encouraged to observe World Lake Day by engaging in activities that educate the public and raise awareness about the importance of lakes. These activities should highlight the need to preserve, conserve, restore, and sustainably manage lakes and their ecosystems. The United Nations Environment Programme is responsible for facilitating the observance of World Lake Day.
