There is no "away" – A study on how to move towards a circular plastics economy, er en artikkelserie skrevet av Vilma Havas i SALT. Vilma har siden 2019 jobbet med et doktorgradsprosjekt der hun studerer den nåværende, lineære plastøkonomien, og hvordan den kan utvikles til å bli mer bærekraftig og sirkulær. I denne artikkelserien gir hun et innblikk i sitt arbeid gjennom å dele noen av sine funn og erfaringer.
From the 23rd to the 24th of October, Our Ocean conference was arranged in Oslo. In addition to the official conference, Sustainable Oceans Alliance (SOA) arranged a networking event for young professionals and students, called Youth Leadership summit (YLS).
100 young ocean leaders from 48 countries were invited to the event, after an application process. This year the theme of the YLS was “Co-creating the Sustainable Blue Economy”.
I was fortunate to be one of the invitees and got to participate in this event. The goal of the YLS is to connect young people who work for a sustainable future and cleaner oceans, and to “collaboratively develop solutions to critical ocean problems” [1].
