Youth United for Waste & Climate Action

climate-conscious communities

Empowering future climate leaders

16% of the world’s population is growing up with the extremities of climate change. These youngsters, between the ages of 15 and 24, have their future hanging in the balance. At YUWA, we are working towards making them the torchbearers of a sustainable future!

Our Impact

We identify the youth’s incredible power and harness it to fight the biggest villain of our times- climate change. Over one year, we have propelled young citizens of Dehradun to become environmentally conscious and actively contribute to the fight against climate change.

(and their incredible stories of change in our case study)

"Ecolympics wasn't just a competition; it was a platform that allowed me to take meaningful climate action and realize my potential"

"Choti choti koshishen, bada badlav laati hain."

My Ecolympics experience was quite unique and informative. It has given me the confidence to stand up for the environment, no matter what.

ग्रीन गुरुकुल में हिस्सा लेकर मुझे बहुत मज़ा आया। सभी गतिविधियों में से मुझे इको-दान सबसे अच्छी लगी। पुराने कपड़ों को इकट्ठा करके जरूरतमंद लोगों को देना बहुत अच्छा लगा। इससे मुझे बहुत खुशी मिली

Ecolympics was an remarkable awfully awaiting platform for me. I am proud and lucky to participate as it gave me memorable experience

Ecolympics inspired me to look beyond myself and work towards creating meaningful, sustainable change within our community.
