Young voices. Bold action. A greener, fairer tomorrow.
The Youth Climate Ambassadors programme is a movement of passionate young leaders across Sri Lanka, united to tackle the climate crisis.

Case Studies – Youth Action in Motion
Eco-Bricks for Livelihoods
A group of ambassadors in Galle launched a project turning plastic waste into eco-bricks. These bricks are sold to local builders, creating affordable housing solutions while generating income for women-led cooperatives.
Solar Skills for Rural Youth
Ambassadors in Anuradhapura partnered with vocational institutes to train rural youth in solar panel installation. The initiative not only reduces reliance on fossil fuels but also opens pathways to stable green jobs.
Mangrove Restoration Enterprise
In Batticaloa, ambassadors led a mangrove restoration project that doubles as a community eco-tourism enterprise. Visitors pay to join planting sessions, funding conservation while boosting local livelihoods.
Why It Matters
Sri Lanka is on the frontline of climate change — facing rising seas, extreme weather, and biodiversity loss. The Youth Climate Ambassadors programme ensures that young voices are heard, solutions are inclusive, and action is sustainable. By linking climate action with economic empowerment, we help communities thrive while protecting the planet.
