Enhance Youth Local Councils' Role in Advocating for the SDGs and Increase Awareness to Climate Change & Climate Environmental Resilience

Shiam piloted the "SDGs advocacy and Climate Change awareness" initiative, where 5 Youth Local Councils (YLCs) from Westbank and Gaza were trained on SDGs advocacy adapted to the Palestinian context. The project's participants were youth council members ages 18-24. Shiam worked with the selected youth members on designing and delivering social initiatives at local schools advocating for climate change and climate resiliency to increase awareness and support the cause. The youth members of the council designed the initiatives based on their understanding of the needs of their local communities and its connection to climate change and climate resilience and implemented them at selected local schools in the targeted communities.
