YouthXchange climate change and lifestyles guidebook

As the environmental conscience of the UN, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) underlines the importance of and the urgent need for a worldwide change in consumption and production patterns and attitudes. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) emphasises the role of education in shaping attitudes, values and behaviours, while developing the capacities, skills and commitment needed for building a sustainable future.
Through youthxchange, UNEP and UNESCO try to show young people that it is possible for all of us to translate our aspirations for a better world into everyday actions. The YXC tool kit: the website and the related guide are intended as a tool kit to help trainers involve young people. It has been designed to assist youth groups, NGOs and teachers to help raise awareness of sustainable consumption (SC) and empower youth to put theory into practice.
