In the framework of the agreement between the FIM and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the FIM celebrated this important date at all FIM events taking place the weekend of 5-6 June with great cooperation from the organisers, promoters and National Federations.

The FIM initiative involved all MotoGP, Moto2, 125cc, Motocross MX1/MX2, MX Sidecar, Trial and Speedway riders who displayed huge banners to make the public and fans aware of the importance of respecting the environment and to show their interest in this matter.

Great media exposure and riders’ personal involvement such as Toni Bou, FIM Trial World Champion (picture), gave to this celebration a great opportunity to extend the FIM’s message of promoting sustainability within the motorcycling world.

The events concerned by this celebration were the MotoGP in Mugello, Italy – MX1 & MX2 in St-Jean d’Angély, France – MX Sidecar in Wschova, Poland - Trial in Motegi, Japan – Speedway in Copenhagen, Denmark.
