Education for the future
Environment and sustainable development in Peru

Peru faces grave environmental challenges as a result of rapid urbanisation, poor waste management and over-exploitation of resources. This report into initiatives for involving communities in managing and protecting their own environment offers valuable lessons on the role that communities everywhere can play in improving the quality of life for future generations.

The project involved support for five local non-governmental organisations with initiatives ranging from a weekly publication to the development of a 'green' curriculum for teachers, and an integrated waste-disposal system for a community on Lima's principal water source, the Rimac River.
