YouthXChange Biodiversity and Lifestyles Guidebook

Tools

Developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in close collaboration with the Secretariat of the Convention of Biological Diversity, this guidebook helps young people, aged between 15 and 24, to learn about the different dimensions of biological and cultural diversity and to develop essential skills to take action for its conservation. The guidebook highlights the interactions between biodiversity and the lifestyle choices of young people, and it untangles the connections between food, consumption, culture and biodiversity conservation. Our goal is to promote learning to preserve biodiversity through responsible lifestyle choices, by providing also starting points for action by young people.
