You are invited to participate in this year’s EcoChallenge! For two weeks, 15-29 October 2015, EcoChallenge leads you and your team to change one habit to benefit both you and the planet. The EcoChallenge is a free annual event that encourages individuals and teams to pick a category—water, trash, energy, food, transportation, civic engagement, connect with the earth, or your own category —and set a goal that stretches your comfort zone and makes a difference for you, your community, and the planet.
The first Meeting of the Partner Networks of the Global Action Programme on ESD took place on the 27 May. Nearly 100 participants representing almost 80 organisations committed to the GAP on ESD participated in the event.
