Project Metrics:


  • Number of Awareness Sessions: Conducted a virtual session engaging students from all over Lahore. The session aimed to empower the youth to raise their voices about climate justice and advocate for policies that could mitigate the effects of climate change in Pakistan. Participants were asked to spread awareness about climate change through a placard campaign.

  • Survey with University Students: Conducted a survey with the students at the University of Lahore and raised awareness about climate change to motivate them to take actions that are beneficial to the environment.

  • Plant Distribution Activity: Participants in this project also took part in a plantation distribution activity organized in collaboration with Fahad Shahbaz Foundation, Alkhidmat Foundation, and Make Pakistan Green. People were given free plants and were guided about the benefits of planting trees for a greener Pakistan.
