One of the goals of the Litter Less Campaign is to raise awareness of litter and waste. We aim to run this campaign as a global activity open to as many communities around the globe as possible. UNESCO ASPnet and the World Organisation of the Scouts Movement has joined to enlarge the effect of the campaign, to increase the knowledge and improve the positive behaviour change of youth and communities.

Since its origins in 1953, ASPnet has developed into a unique network of schools connecting more than 11,500 educational institutions in 182 countries. They promote the ideals and values enshrined in the Constitution of UNESCO and the Charter of the United Nations, including fundamental rights and human dignity, gender equality, social progress, freedom, justice and democracy, respect for diversity and international solidarity.

With its thematic action areas, the network aims to make an important contribution to transforming education systems and to reaching Target 7 of Sustainable Development Goal 4 - Education 2030 by fostering safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environments.
