Introduction

Rising CO2 emissions and pollution have risen at a staggering rate, endangering the livelihoods, food security, biodiversity, and well-being of the planet. Waste has also become a massive problem in this consumeristic society. An increase in waste volumes along with high costs of waste management and its severity on the environment and humankind result in a paradigm shi towards circular economy models. Countries around the world are trying now new, innovative ways to handle waste and one of the ways is social entrepreneurship by keeping circular economy into focus as waste mismanagement can have economic, social, and environmental implications which include toxic pollutants discharge, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and exploitation of natural resources. And to add value-creation, professionals, entrepreneurs, and changemakers need to understand the opportunities available to prevent waste and reduce, re-use, recycle and upcycle consumables.

This programme covers key elements of waste management and challenges faced in social entrepreneurship. This programme is designed for participants to identify a problem they care about and understand the skills required for impact and learn how social entrepreneurship could serve as an effective solution. It will provide participants the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge in understanding waste management and social entrepreneurship.

Need of the programme

Have you come across large amounts of waste and garbage lying around street corners and neighborhoods posing a threat to the environment and humankind?

As the world is grappling with social and environmental issues, it is imperative to build innovative and effective solutions to address social problems worldwide.

Sustainable solutions help in dealing with waste and enhance recycling and reusing of the products or services. This programme will help participants to bring about the transformative change needed in a socially responsible manner.

Social entrepreneurs are changemakers; change agents who challenge the status quo of unsustainable business practices promoting mass production and consumption.
