The four-day Youth Leadership for Climate Change workshop, commenced on June 24 at the Makli Ghunghat Khana in Thatta, brought together young climate leaders to address climate adaptation and environmental sustainability actions. The event organised by Sindh Community Foundation (SCF) under the Pakistan Youth Leadership Initiative (PYLI) and supported by the British Council Pakistan, sees participation from 34 young leaders including 11 young females, engaged in intensive sessions focusing on climate resilience, local adaptation strategies, and youth leadership development.
