Delighted to share on World Environment Day, the publication of our journal article engaging the Instituto Soka Amazônia in Manaus, Brazil, with reference drawn to the Earth Charter.
It showcases one example of the critical work being done by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as key actors in the fields of Sustainability and Global Education.
