How Training in Green Skills Could Help Turn The Tide Against Plastic Pollution
UNEP, in partnership with regional universities, is training students in green skills to fight plastic pollution. The program promotes a circular economy by teaching sustainable practices and waste reduction. By integrating these concepts into academic curricula, it aims to build a workforce ready to support eco-friendly industries. This effort is part of the broader “Green Jobs for Youth Pact” to boost sustainable employment in Latin America and the Caribbean.
