Young Bangla, country’s largest youth platform, has rolled out a countrywide series of extensive and interactive schemes that aims to raise awareness among communities to reduce man made causes leading to climate change and cope up adverse impact of climate change.
This initiative comes as people are suffering the worst from a sweltering heat giving rise to a rallying call for mass awareness in protecting the environment often endangered by people induced hazards, according to the organisation.
To make the campaign effective, a diverse range of events are lined up including dozens of street plays, seminars, art competitions, street songs, puppet shows, tree plantation among others.
All these events would further bring in evocative messaging over how to avoid negative impact on environment like plastic waste management, hospital waste management alongside building basic knowledge on harmful chemicals.
Sprawled across the country, over 50 youth-led organisations have joined hands to run the campaign tilted as “keep your environment clean and liveable”.
