Happy World Environment Day!

This year’s theme, “A Global Call for Climate Action,” calls for stronger climate action, increased climate finance, and collective efforts to build a sustainable future. #WorldEnvironmentDay2026 #ClimateAction

Before the lights, conversations, and big moments… there’s the vision, planning, installations, branding, last-minute adjustments, and the team making it all happen.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how #Spruik brought NAP Expo 2026 to life.
