The WWD 2025 theme is Eco-Living with Wood: A Sustainable Journey.

World Wood Day 2025 explores the multifaceted role of wood in achieving eco-living and sustainable development. By highlighting the significance of independent wood certification and ecologically sound forestry practices, the 2025 WWD theme “Eco-Living with Wood” emphasizes the importance of eco-labeling in promoting responsible wood consumption. The event delves into the cultural and historical connection between humans and wood, while also underscoring the material's potential to mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration. It advocates for increased use of wood in construction and design, as well as the integration of forest-based recreation into a holistic eco-living approach. Ultimately, 2025 WWD positions wood as a cornerstone of sustainable living, capable of enriching human life while preserving the planet's natural resources.
