Wide-Eyed and Fresh-Faced: My Experience Stepping into the Biosphere World
They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step and I completely agree. Late last year, I began my volunteer role as a youth representative for the UNESCO Biosphere Stakeholder Partnership Group in the Isle of Man. This was alongside starting work in Marketing at Capital International Group, a company that I believe is innovative and ambitious in its approach to sustainable development and is committed to preserving wealth in its many forms, including for our community and for the environment. This first step hurtled me towards the stark reality of the huge challenge that is engaging communities into sustainable development. It's safe to say, after my first experiences engaging with young people on the Isle of Man about our Biosphere, I felt lost.
