The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is currently working on a book that will be published in June this year. Its purpose is to encourage youth around the globe to be active on environmental issues.

The global launch will be in Brazil in conjunction with the Rio+20 summit. They are now collecting case studies and stories of what young people are doing (from an environmental perspective) globally.

This is a great chance to get your environmental projects featured in a publication that will be promoted by the UN and spread globally, very good advertisement for your organization, and an amazing way to inspire others!

Please share this link with your networks as well and start submitting case studies here: UNEP
