Millennium Fellowship Project: Climate Act Now
Climate Action Now promotes climate literacy, youth engagement, sanitation, and cross-sector collaboration through school workshops, community cleanups, webinars, and awareness campaigns. During the Fellowship, the project engaged 320–350 students and teachers across three schools, hosted three online webinars, and completed three cleanups with 60+ youth volunteers. Successes included strong volunteer participation, interactive school sessions, and effective partnerships. Challenges included limited funding and logistics, which restricted tree planting and broader outreach to meet initial targets.
