DIALOGUES 4 ACTION: CLEAN CITIES4CHILDREN – THE WASTE CHALLENGE
Inspiring Stories by Youth Changemakers in Cities
“I have learned you are never too small to make a difference.”– Greta Thunberg
Children and youth are inheriting a planet with problems they did not create. Yet, many of them are stepping up and taking charge to fight for cleaner environments and more urgent actions towards climate change. This webinar highlights stories of young activists who have made a difference in the management of solid waste in their respective cities.
Panelists will discuss the importance of addressing plastic pollution/waste related issues worldwide, how they created change in their community, and highlight how their solutions can be replicated.
