For a Greener Future

The closing meeting of the "European Youth Alliance for a Green Future" project carried out with an international consortium under the leadership of the World Academy of Local Government and Democracy (WALD) was held on February 27, 2023, at the Foundation Headquarters.

Making the opening speech of the meeting attended by project partners and international invitations from Belgium, North Macedonia, and Romania, WALD Chairman of the Board Dr. Mehmet DUMAN emphasized the social contributions of young people, who are the decision-makers of the future, in solving the environmental problems they face in their communities at the local level.

The project states that it is based on the question of what action will be taken to solve the environmental problems that young people face in the societies they live in today, Dr. DUMAN said, "With this project, it is aimed to ensure that young people have the necessary knowledge and equipment to take an active role in the policies to be implemented, in achieving the goals set by the European Green Consensus and the inclusion of young people."

Also at the meeting, it was emphasized that the outputs of the project increased the interaction between young people at the local and international levels and that they also gained a global perspective to support a sustainable future.
