Only 20 university students of Bangladesh has got the opportunity to participate in the first-ever ‘Climate Development Literacy Training’.

‘Climate Literacy Development Training’ aimed to enhance the youth capacity to understand climate change issues properly and to act for the environmental protection.

The main goal of this training was to raise awareness, to develop the clear understanding of climate change issues among the young generation, and to engage themselves in the climate movement.
