This publication was developed as a primer for youth on the green economy, particularly since there are no youth-friendly publications that explain this issue to youth. This publication enables youth to better familiarize themselves with the green economy and the skills needed for it, such as engaging in social innovation and green entrepreneurship.
Highlights of the field trip undertaken during the Asia-Pacific Regional Workshop for Youth Leadership Training on Education for Sustainable Development, organized by UNESCO Bangkok from 15 to 17 November 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Over half of global land-based plastic waste leakage into the ocean originates in just five Asian countries. Yet, the
contribution of informal waste management to reducing pollution, remains largely overlooked. The United
Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) is gathering evidence in pilot cities in
Asia to identify opportunities to return plastic resources into the production cycle by linking informal and formal
waste processes.
This publication shares the key lessons from a decade of IRRC implementation to improve municipal solid waste management, and explains how the contributions of IRRCs can support the implementation of important global and regional agendas for sustainable development: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; the New Urban Agenda; the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; the Regional Road Map for the 2030 Agenda in the Asia-Pacific region; and the Ministerial Declaration on Environment and Development in the Asia-Pacific region.
Eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity in a changing Asia-Pacific is the thematic report of the Asia-Pacific SDG Partnership for 2017. Addressing the theme of the 2017 session of the high-level political forum on sustainable development, it supports regional and global dialogue on sustainable development – as well as national and regional implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
