Project Information
The Young People's Action Group
focuses on addressing the critical issue of climate change and its impacts on healthcare, essential services, and community well-being.
Climate change and natural disasters pose significant threats by damaging healthcare infrastructure, disrupting access to essential services, and undermining the physical and mental well-being of community members.
By engaging young people in this effort, the initiative aims to foster innovative solutions and build resilience in the face of these challenges.
Young people's engagement is crucial for driving effective climate action, particularly in areas that directly affect their lives, such as healthcare and essential services.
This programme is funded by UNICEF India and is supported by the Government of Meghalaya's MPOWER (Meghalaya Project for Adolescent Wellbeing, Empowerment, and Resilience) project, which is supported by the World Bank.
