Empowering the Youth for Sustainable Development and Climate Action
On the eve of World Cities Day, UNDP Turkmenistan, in collaboration with the Institute of International Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hosted an inspiring session with youth as part of the TurkmenYouth4SDGs series at the UN building in Ashgabat!
At this exciting meeting, UNDP experts and students explored specific ways in which the younger generation can lead efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and combat the climate crisis. Topics ranged from building sustainable cities to embracing responsible consumption and waste management.
Our specialists from the “Sustainable Cities” project shared international best practices in waste management and consumption, and also discussed how each individual can reduce their carbon footprint. Together, we can collaboratively build a greener and more sustainable future for everyone!
