Global Wind Day 2025 – Theme, Significance and Quiz

Recently most of you might have heard about the Cyclone Yaas that struck hard in West Bengal and Odisha. Cyclones are other forms of wind that show the drastic face of the wind. But is it the only face and strength of the wind? If you ask a poet or a lover in a very cool mind, experiencing the streamlined flow of wind may force him to describe the wind poetically. So according to the situation, the wind will incarnate into various forms. The wind in the energy form which can be utilized for producing energy is the widely accepted and anticipated form of wind. Keeping in the objective of the utilization of the tremendous possibilities of energy production by the wind we observe June 15 as the Global wind day. Are you hearing it for the first time? Don’t worry let us look into this day observed on 15th June every year by all the UN members. Let us look into a particular celebration action plan related to global wind day through this blog.

Global Wind Day Celebrated on June 15th Every Year

Global Wind Day is observed on 15th June every year. The global wind day is observed by all the UN member states. The action plan associated with this day is celebrated and coordinated by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and Wind Europe (EWEA). Sunday is dedicated to exploring and exchanging the possibilities of maximum energy production by the natural resource wind. There will be events of celebration and information providing awareness sessions of the exploration of wind will be conducted all over the world. This day initiates the wind energy associations and wind energy production companies to hold and conduct many events in collaboration with EWEA and GWEC. It was observed on 15 June, 1967 for the first time. From those times itself it is celebrated annually to give the opportunity of maximum exploration of wind energy.

Wind Europe and Global Wind Energy Council

Wind Europe was formerly known as the Europe Wind Energy Association (EWEA). Now the name has been changed to Wind Europe. Even though nowadays both of the terms are used, the both terms represent the same institution. Wind Europe is an association based in Brussels which is the capital of Belgium. Brussels works as the headquarters of the institution. The membership and strength of the association is very big; it contains 600 members spread over 50 different countries including manufacturers, leading companies, research institutions, wind energy associations etc. They organize various programs and events annually in regard with wind energy production and conservation and supply. One of the events it conducts in collaboration with GWEN is the Global Wind Day observed annually on 15th June.

Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) is a platform for representation for the entire wind energy sector in the world at an international level. It was established and came into function in the year of 2005. The mission of the GWEC is to establish wind energy as one of the world’s leading energy sources by reducing the environmental impact and hazardous effects of other energy sources. After the commencement of the council the energy production of the entire world has been increased by 25% and the wind energy capacity has been increased up to 74GW.

Global Wind Day – History 

2007: Inaugural year of Global wind day celebration. The event had organized by EWEA (European Wind Energy Association) to coordinate events organized by national wind energy associations and companies active in the wind energy field. Wind Day in 2007 reached 18 countries in Europe, with a participation of around 35,000 people.

2009: European Wind Energy Association joined forces with GWEC (Global Wind Energy Council) to extend the reach of European wind energy associations and companies to coordinate Wind Day events across the globe.

2010: Over 220 events took place in 30 countries, and more than 1 million people had reached by Global Wind Day communications around the world. 

2012: Global Wind Day partners organized 250 events around the globe, from wind farm open days to workshops, from photo exhibitions to regattas, and from kite-flying to charity runs, along with the included events in Mexico, Chile, Israel, South Korea, and South Africa.

2018: European Wind Energy Association and Global Wind Energy Council had launched a global photo competition to capture “The Power of Wind” in the run-up to Global Wind Day. 

2019: European Wind Energy Association and Global Wind Energy Council launched the international photo competition “Future Wind” in the run-up to Global Wind Day. The competition received over 600 photos from more than 50 countries. 

Global Wind Day 2025 Theme

Global Wind Day 2025 centers around the theme of celebrating the benefits of wind energy and educating individuals about the power and potential of wind energy to change the world. This theme highlights the critical role wind energy plays in shaping a cleaner, greener future. With global efforts intensifying to combat climate change, the theme emphasizes the need to embrace wind power as a sustainable, cost-effective, and scalable energy solution. It also celebrates how wind energy has already improved energy access, reduced emissions, and created thousands of green jobs across the globe.

The 2025 theme also focuses strongly on awareness and education. Through exhibitions, school programs, social media campaigns, and local wind farm tours, people are encouraged to learn how wind turbines work, how wind farms are built, and why they matter. By empowering youth, communities, and policymakers with knowledge, the day seeks to build widespread support for wind energy initiatives and policies. This theme underlines that the transition to renewable energy starts with understanding its impact and potential.

Lastly, the theme is a call to action. It reminds individuals, governments, and businesses that wind energy is not a distant dream but a present-day solution. The more people understand its benefits—zero carbon emissions, energy independence, and long-term savings—the more likely they are to support wind infrastructure and investments. Global Wind Day 2025 is not just a celebration; it’s a powerful moment to spark change and inspire a wind-powered future for all.

Global Wind Day Previous Themes 

Global Wind Day, observed annually on June 15, is a worldwide event to celebrate wind energy and raise awareness about its power and potential to reshape our energy systems. It was initiated by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) in 2007 and became a global event in 2009 with the involvement of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).

While this day often focuses on broad themes of wind energy’s benefits and potential, specific, overarching themes like those for other UN days are not always explicitly stated by the organizing bodies in the same way. Instead, the events often revolve around highlighting various aspects of wind power.

However, some years have had more prominent focus areas or photo competition themes:

• 2025: “Celebrating the benefits of wind energy and educating individuals about the power and potential of wind energy to change the world”
• 2024: “Pawan-Urja: Powering the Future of India” (This was a specific theme for events in India, highlighting the role of wind energy in the country’s future.)
• 2023: “Old turbines new furniture” (Showcasing innovative designer furniture made from decommissioned wind turbine parts, highlighting sustainable practices.)
• 2019: “Future Wind” (A photo competition theme reflecting diverse interpretations of wind energy’s role in a sustainable future.)
• 2018: Photo competition focused on capturing “the power of wind.”
• 2012: “The Wind in Mind” (A photo competition theme.)
