UNU-IAS will organise a special online session at the 14th International Conference on Environmental and Rural Development (ICERD). Under the theme ‘Circular Economy Education for Sustainable Development in Local Communities’, this event will explore the role of education, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and community engagement in addressing local problems, focusing on the promotion and practice of the circular economy model. It will share experiences and discuss lessons learnt on how the Regional Centres of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCEs) have responded and contributed to mitigating the adverse impacts of irresponsible consumption and production.
Participation is open to all and no registration is required. Participants can join the meeting via Zoom here.
This event will be held in English.
