Empowering the Next Generation: The Girl-Led Action on Climate Change

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and its impact is felt across the globe. However, amidst the looming threat, hope shines through in the form of young girls and women who are actively taking charge, determined to make a difference.

Introducing the “Girl-Led Action on Climate Change” – a transformative initiative spearheaded by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). This program, conducted between January 2021 and February 2023, is more than just a campaign; it’s a movement. Leveraging a non-formal education model, it aims to educate and engage thousands of girls and young women, empowering them to take meaningful action against climate change.

One of the standout member organizations actively championing this cause is the Tanzania Girl Guides Association (TGGA). With the support of various stakeholders, TGGA has been instrumental in bringing the program’s vision to life, particularly in Tanzania.

The Phase 1 Report offers an in-depth look into the initiative’s milestones, challenges, successes, and highlights the tangible difference these girls are making in their communities. From tree planting campaigns to waste recycling initiatives, they drive positive change in the fight against climate change.

As we navigate the complexities of climate change, it’s heartening to see such dedicated efforts towards creating a more sustainable future. The Girl-Led Action on Climate Change is not just about mitigating the effects of global warming; it’s about fostering a generation of informed, passionate, and proactive individuals ready to tackle the challenges head-on.
