Judges comments

  • In my opinion, the best project to help improve the livelihoods of those most affected by climate change; impressive how it involves so many different groups and actors
  • Great that this is youth-led and covers a number of different areas that are related to climate change: food security, waste management, etc.
  • The work being done here is so important and demonstrates the intersectionality of issues. Would love to explore ways to link youth from our different networks together
