Jago Foundation’s Environment and Climate Change Learning Programme brings together topics such as forests, water, biodiversity and waste with activities that encourage adolescents to observe local issues and take action. Through its submission, the organisation shares how environmental learning can extend beyond lessons and into everyday community life.
