The role of young people is crucial in addressing environmental issues that are negatively impacting countries across the world and for sustaining interventions by duty bearers. Pollution, loss of biodiversity and climate change are some of the key challenges associated with destruction of the environment globally. It is based on this premise that EcoClub 360, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), in Ghana is committed to projecting, reinforcing and sustaining the role of young people by raising their awareness and equipping them to take urgent actions needed to protect the environment.
Our primary goal is to empower young people, especially students in basic and secondary schools in Ghana, with the knowledge and skills needed to undertake responsible environmental activities and projects that promote positive behaviours towards the environment. Our resource persons are globally experienced environmental experts with extensive knowledge and skills in the sector.
Our primary goal is to empower vulnerable populations with the necessary climate adaptation and mitigation measures for building resilience, and managing risks in view of the exacerbating global climate crisis.
