Since January of this year, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis has spread across the world. By the end of May, the situation was quite good in Thailand, but there are places around the world, including many of the countries where our AIT students, faculty, and staff come from, which are still heavily affected.
AIT has joined UNESCO’s newly unveiled ‘The Plastic Initiative’
https://theplasticinitiative.org/ along with other Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), UN-Habitat, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), National Science Museum (NSM), Thailand and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The Plastic Initiative partnership formally kicked-off at a webinar held on 12 June 2020 to celebrate World Environment Day 2020: Biodiversity.
