Translation of content into languages is essential to promote UNEP's efforts towards sustainable development amongst the world's people in a clear voice. Due to a strong team effort, Portuguese speaking countries are already able to access many content and campaigns. Now, by the end of the year, it's time to share with our stakeholders all efforts and achievements met in 2020. Our brief national report is finished in Portuguese and we need urgent support to review - and maybe edit - the English version (already translated). The Volunteer is expected to REVIEW the English version of our report, containing 4,631 words. The Volunteer should finish the task by Wednesday morning (BRT, GMT-3).

The English version, however, still requires a final review.
