Solution
Project Clean–Green
The Climate Risk Index Report ranks Pakistan 5th in terms of climate vulnerability, and in Taimoor Siddiqui’s province of Sindh, climate awareness is essentially non-existent in the population. Based on Article 12 of the Paris Agreement, Siddiqui’s project proposes to work at the grassroots level to raise climate change awareness and mitigation strategies and encourage meaningful advocacy and youth engagement. A cohort of young people from universities and marginalized communities would initially be trained as climate activists with knowledge of climate change impacts, mitigation strategies, and sustainable solutions. Mini grants would be provided to implement social action projects in their communities focused on transformative climate education, sustainable development goals, and community mobilization.
