"A key planning tool to formulate low-emission, climate-resilient plans is the mapping of vulnerabilities to climate change (UNDP, 2010)."
This statement perfectly sets the stage for our upcoming Workshop on Grassroots Mapping of Climate Change-Induced Vulnerabilities hosted by Youth Empowerment for Climate Action (YECA). This workshop is designed to equip young leaders with the skills and knowledge necessary to tackle climate challenges at the local level.
Workshop Overview: In this one-day workshop, participants will be introduced to grassroots mapping techniques essential for identifying and addressing climate vulnerabilities. The session will combine theoretical insights with hands-on training using open-source tools, empowering communities to integrate local knowledge into resilience-building strategies against climate change.
