Climate Action Campaign Tracker (CACT)
This programme helps raise awareness about climate action among students in Bangladesh, and helps build their capacity by conducting workshops, seminars, and open discussion sessions at different educational institutes. We are also connecting youth from around the country, who are working at the individual level for climate action.
Overview of the project
Climate Action Campaign Tracker – CACT – is a program through which Youth Foundation of Bangladesh identifies young individuals, who are committed and enthusiastic about environment and climate change. By tracking and connecting them through our campaign, we help share ideas and initiatives that can prepare the whole nation to face the climate crisis.
The program activities include organizing seminars, national and international day celebrations, international events, and workshop at different schools, colleges, universities, and institutions around the world.
Climate Action Campaign Tracker is a program designed to help people become aware about climate action, and help them take part. We seek to engage a large number of young people in order to tackle climate changes issues, as we recognize the power of the youth.
