  • Reducing flood risks within communities
  • Promoting climate awareness and environmental responsibility
  • Expanding plastic recovery initiatives across more communities

The project contributes directly to the achievement of:

  • SDG 11 โ€“ Sustainable Cities & Communities
  • SDG 12 โ€“ Responsible Consumption & Production
  • SDG 13 โ€“ Climate Action
  • SDG 17 โ€“ Partnerships for the Goals Conclusion
    The Environmental Waste Management Exercise and Plastic Recovery Initiative reflects the power of community collaboration in driving meaningful climate action and environmental sustainability.
    Through awareness creation, waste recovery, recycling initiatives, and strategic partnerships, IYACODI continues to build cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable communities for present and future generations.
