Green Helmets Training Opens in São Paulo’s East Zone

16 October 2026, Geneva, Switzerland - The Green Helmets initiative has launched a training programme in São Paulo's East Zone, Brazil, focusing on environmental governance, human security and community-based environmental action. Developed in partnership with the Open University for the Environment and Culture of Peace (UMAPAZ), the programme aims to strengthen local capacities to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable practices.

Green Helmets is an international initiative supported by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), which seeks to empower citizens as environmental leaders and promote ecosystem restoration, sustainable development and community resilience.

In São Paulo, the initiative is implemented in collaboration with UMAPAZ, part of the Municipal Department of Green Spaces and the Environment. The course, Green Helmets: Environmental Governance, Human Security, and Territorial Action, brings together municipal staff, educators and community leaders from the city, an area facing significant socio-environmental challenges linked to urban expansion and inequality.
