When faced with the scale of environmental problems, we might question our roles as individuals in bringing about a positive change. We often forget, however, that it is the summation of our individual actions that can have the greatest impact on the protection and preservation of our planet. Sometimes even the simplest of changes in our daily habits can have collectively positive results. To start this chain reaction, it is important to come together as individuals and join the dialogue on our common future. On 19 December 2018, Climate Change and Environment Portfolio of UNDP Turkey played catalyst to this dialogue in Ankara by organizing an intra-agency workshop on sustainable environment practices, asking how we can start to realize the Sustainable Development Goals in our daily lives.
