Participants in a consultation workshop recently underscored the importance of making the climate and environmental education part of a curriculum to raise awareness among youth about the issue. The workshop titled ‘Empowering Change: A Workshop on Systems Thinking for Climate Change and Environmental Education’ was organised by the Aga Khan University’s Institute for Educational Development (AKU-IED), Karachi, in connection with its Climate Action Fellowship (CAF-2024) initiative. Fozia Parveen, assistant professor AKU-IED and the project lead of the CAF-2024 said that they had selected 50 outstanding educators from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to lead climate action initiatives within their schools and communities, under the guidance of AKU-IED. “These fellows were chosen from over 500 applicants who had participated in multiple capacity-building workshops held in Chitral and Peshawar,” she said.
