Hi ISLANDS community!

Just found this interesting article on the importance of young people’s involvement in SDG processes. The article highlights three key elements for meaningful youth engagement namely representation, inclusivity and empowerment.

It also spotlights the relevance of creating and sharing learning opportunities - which is what ISLANDS is focusing on.

ISLANDS is engaged with youth through the Tide Turners - an UNEP initiative aiming at educating and empowering young people to take action on plastic pollution. In person activities are taking place in the Caribbean and in the Pacific, and in June we have launched a mobile App to allow more people to benefit from it.

Have you tried the app yet? if not, check it out at the link below and let us know what you think!

Our story for the UNEP webpage on the Tide Turners app is finally out.

"Among other things, the app encourages people to switch to reusable products and go plastic-free where possible, lifestyle changes that experts say can help stem the flow of plastic into the world’s oceans, which has reached crisis levels".
