Youth ExChange
How to balance looking cool and feeling cool with the need to combat climate are among the key tips in the new United Nations YouthXchange Training kit. This updated version of the guide also gets to grips with the mountains of waste emerging across the globe as a result of today's fast throw-away society from mobile phones to fashion. The Youth Exchange provides us with content that we are able to convey to other young people, empowering them
to make different choices in their daily lives and be actors of change",
says Gabriela Monteiro, one of UNEP's Youth Advisors.
