Promote Youth and Community Participation in Climate Change Adaptation

Project period: January 2012 - December 2013

Funded by: JCCI (the Joint Climate Change Initiative)

Target group: Young people aged 15-30, local authorities, and the other community members

Target area: Prey Veng province

The project raised community members’ awareness, especially youth, about climate change and encouraged them to get involved in acting to decrease and mitigate it harmful effects, while mainstreaming the issue in the local development plans.

After attending training on climate change effects and mitigation solutions, Community-based Youth Networks (CYNs) mobilized members of the community to become more active in addressing the challenges imposed by climate change.

CYNs participated in the development of community development plans and established strong relationships with commune council members so that their response to climate change impact improved, which was the result from coaching, mutual learning and knowledge sharing.

KYA organized a Tree Planting Festvial, which included fertilization of trees planted the year before and distribution of information about climate change issues. Public forums were conducted at several communes, with attendance of the community and local authorities. The participants at the forums learned about climate change through the speakers’ presentation and educational role plays.
