This project mobilises young people in Alexandria and Port Said to fight plastic pollution. It begins with a three-day training course, where 60 young climate leaders are trained in environmental skills such as types of plastic, the circular economy, climate governance and the outcomes of COP29.
These trained leaders will then lead zero-pollution workshops and run online awareness campaigns. The initiative includes a #Zero_Plastic challenge involving influencers and a plastic-free, environmentally friendly iftar during Ramadan.
The project will conclude with a final event featuring a ‘Climate Emotions’ photo exhibition showcasing the best contributions from the challenge and bringing together climate entrepreneurs, policymakers, BeMed grant recipients and representatives from parliament.
