In the partner communities of UN-Habitat’s Healthy Oceans Clean Cities Initiative, women have taken the lead in pioneering community solutions to reduce marine plastic litter. In doing so, they have also provided economic opportunities for women in their localities.
Urban October
This is the second time that UP-DCERP has partnered with UN-Habitat for the ICHSPD. This year, it is also part of the country office’s Urban October celebration.
Urban October is an opportunity for everyone to be part of the conversation about the challenges and opportunities created by the fast rate of change in our cities and towns. It is a month of exciting meetings, discussions and events focusing the world’s attention on urban issues and sustainable development.
