Zero waste, more hope in South Sudan
By UN News
Feb 17, 2024 3:23 pm

Zero energy light bulbs and sturdy bricks for schools and homes. Some innovative communities in South Sudan are reusing waste in new ways as the world rallies to ban plastic pollution by the year's end, with help from a small team of experts led by climate and environmental scientist Shazneen Cyrus Gazdar at theUN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).

The team is working with local authorities and civil society to find fresh solutions to the young nation's environmental challenges, one reused plastic bottle at a time.
