The University of Guam’s Guam Green Growth (G3) Conservation Corps program got a little greener today with the launch of the first cohort of the G3 GROW Corps.
Sustainability ensures that the needs of the current generation are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability (CIS) was established in 2009 to lead and support the transition of our island region toward a sustainable future.
CIS has since become a focal institute in our region for conducting sustainability- related research and community outreach, in cooperation and coordination with other appropriate government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community groups to help meet island needs in the broader areas of environment, economy, society, and education.
With partner groups and an ever expanding portfolio of implementation projects, the UOG CIS continues to move our region into a green future. Guam Green Growth, Sea Grant, SEAS Islands Alliance and Navigating Home are all amazing initiatives and programs putting plans into action.
The Guam Green Growth Conservation Corps (G3CC) continues to collect seeds of wisdom this week at the UOG Triton Farm in Dededo.
The University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant’s Island Conservation Lab (UOG CIS & Sea Grant ICL) and the Guam Department of Agriculture Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (DAWR) hosted representatives from the CNMI Department of Fish and Wildlife (CNMI DFW) for a two-day workshop on the Guam and CNMI State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAP).
Entrepreneurs participating in the Guam Unique Merchandise and Art (GUMA) training program received an insightful presentation today from the Guam Green Growth (G3) Circular Economy Makerspace and Innovation Hub team. The session, a long-standing component of the GUMA curriculum, highlighted the principles of the circular economy and the opportunities it presents for local artisans and businesses.
Members of the University of Guam’s Guam Green Growth Conservation Corps (G3CC) recently dedicated an intensive week to understanding the complexities of waste management on the island, collaborating with industry leader Guahan Waste Control. This immersive experience is a critical component of the G3 Conservation Corps program, which aims to cultivate the next generation of environmental leaders and a skilled workforce for Guam’s emerging green economy.
From strengthening individual green growth hubs to collaborating and sharing knowledge for sustainable development, the Local2030 Islands Network is set to take the next step with the launch of the Green Growth Partnership Community of Practice.
The University of Guam (UOG) has announced 12 new participants for the Guam Green Growth (G3) Kupu Conservation Corps, marking its expansion into a six-month program that offers enhanced training and benefits.
