Climate Change and Education
Janahit Nepal recognizes that climate change poses a serious threat to the livelihoods, health, and overall well-being of rural communities. In response, the organization integrates climate change awareness and education into its development programs, aiming to build resilient communities through informed action, adaptation, and environmental stewardship.
Through formal and informal education, capacity building, and community-based awareness campaigns, Janahit empowers individuals—especially youth and women—to understand the impacts of climate change and to adopt sustainable practices that protect both people and the environment.
Major Focus Areas:
- Climate Change Awareness – Educating communities about the causes, impacts, and responses to climate change through targeted outreach and training.
- Integration of Climate Education – Incorporating climate change topics into local education systems, non-formal education programs, and youth learning initiatives.
- Community-Based Adaptation – Promoting locally appropriate adaptation strategies to reduce climate vulnerability and strengthen community resilience.
- Youth and Women in Climate Action – Engaging youth and women as key actors in climate education, advocacy, and sustainable development.
- Sustainable Practices and Environmental Stewardship – Encouraging eco-friendly practices such as afforestation, water conservation, and disaster risk reduction at the grassroots level.
