For an overview of our work and how you can apply it, check out our our offer for the world (updated 23 February 2022).
UNEP is working with Universities through its Youth and Education Alliance as well as with partners such as the Scout Movement and the video gaming industry through the Playing for the Planet Alliance to support their communities of millions of young people to learn and act in support of the environment.
This newly designed programme seeks to inspire the next generation of young leaders by offering them programmes to participate in (e.g. Tide Turners Plastic Challenge) and opportunities to build their knowledge (e.g. Earth School). It also seeks to support mindset change on campuses through The Little Book of Green Nudges and to build the skillsets of future generations by exploring how a new era of Green Jobs for Youth can be created and supported.
