"Empower individuals to analyze, and act on environmental challenges for a sustainable future."

Greater due to its unique challenges. According to the Global Climate Risk Index 2025, Pakistan is ranked as the fifth most vulnerable country to climate change, with events like the 2022 floods causing widespread devastation. Additionally, the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) reports severe water scarcity and the accelerated melting of glaciers in the Hindu Kush and Karakoram mountains, both of which threaten agriculture, food security, and increase flood risks. The country faces severe water scarcity, posing a significant threat to agriculture and food security. In cities like Lahore and Karachi, air pollution has reached hazardous levels, contributing to a major public health crisis. Furthermore, climate-induced disasters, such as floods and prolonged droughts, are forcing millions from their homes.

This course is strategically designed to address these critical issues and is considered the leading environmental education program in Pakistan, directly linking climate change awareness with practical solutions for schools, homes, and communities. By providing a comprehensive framework to respond to these crises, the course aims to make a real difference in the lives of students and their communities.
