The Consumer Education and Research Centre (CERC) receives the Green Action Fund(GAF) supports from the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC), under the global Green Action Week (GAW) initiative. The fund aims to strengthen community-based environmental action by promoting sustainable consumption and sharing practices.
Through this project, CERC implements a series of awareness and engagement activities across schools, communities, and partner institutions in the states. The initiative encourages the concept of “Sharing Community”, where people exchange skills, services, and resources to reduce waste, promote eco-friendly living, and build stronger social bonds. With SSNC’s support, CERC organizes events such as the Fun Fair “Aap-Le No Otlo”, eco-art competitions, awareness campaigns on eco-friendly products, and Mission LiFE pledges.
The Green Action Fund enables the Centre to reach hundreds of students and citizens, motivating them to adopt sustainable lifestyle choices, reuse and recycle materials, and make informed consumption decisions.
