Awareness and Education

Overview of the Working Group

The Awareness and Education Working Group aims to raise awareness and understanding about the importance of environmental education and outreach on waste management. The group’s work extends to communities and various stakeholders globally. The group aims to provide comprehensive guidance, waste literacy, tools, and practical actions that promote environmental stewardship and sustainable practices.

Environmental education should be a prevention, participation, and intervention strategy for everyone. We are passionate about improving awareness & education in waste and resource management and are committed to aligning with UNESCO goals. Our focus includes awareness & education on waste management and circular economy, emphasizing the waste hierarchy as an implementation framework for sustainable practices.

Why do we want to do?

We are responsible for the future; we must actively manage changes in a sustainable way and aim to impact future environmental actions. The international group shares knowledge and exchanges visions about awareness and education; we want to engage not just on what awareness is needed in communities in waste but also on how such initiatives are delivered. Thus leading our endeavours on waste or environmental outreach globally.
