Social Enterprise in Biosphere Reserves

"UNESCO's (...) Biosphere Reserves (...) provide our communities, our children and young people with an opportunity to actively safeguard our natural capital for the future. Social enterprises enpower communities to engage with the challenges of our 21st century such as climate change, health, food and water security. By linking with UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme, the Social Enterprise in Biosphere Development Framework will help strengthen environmental and economic progress. This will be achieved by supporting social enterprises in and around Biosphere Reserves to thrive, providing a platform to generate new socially and environmentally responsible employment"
