To celebrate the International Day of Zero Waste, UNU-IAS will hold an exhibition showcasing winning artworks from the 2023 RCE Youth Art Challenge. Created by young people from around the world, the pieces aim to inspire others to use resources more efficiently and reduce waste, as well as highlight individual and community action on SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production). They include a range of mediums, such as craftwork, paintings, sculptures and digital art, with some using locally sourced waste.
