Sustainability

At start of the Congress the Dr Castroflorio invited attendees to download the United Nations’ AWorld app, which was developed to encourage living in a more sustainable way in a modern world, with less paper and less plastic.

It was created in support of ActNow - the United Nations campaign for individual action on climate change and sustainability.

The app incentivises people to take sustainable action through everyday ‘habits’ and actions which they can log and track. It also provides them with their impact metrics, educational journeys, tips and quizzes, and engages them through the use of eye-catching visuals and solutions-oriented content.

The EAS is keen to foster more projects which encourage sustainability and is embracing ways to reduce Congress wastage. More news on this project in the coming months.
