Pakistan Youth Climate Network

History

Pakistan Youth Climate Network is an initiative undertaken by students and young professionals who formed the group in 2009. It was established as a unit within the Climate Change Study Center at Sustainable Development Policy Institute [SDPI] from where it continues to operate. Youth delegates from PYCN have had the honor of representing Pakistan at the South Asian Youth Summit on Climate Change, Copenhagen Summit and other regional forums and conferences. PYCN was also a part of  the 350  global campaign where it collaborated with its global partners to undertake local and international activities. It has extensively been involved with regional, national youth groups and international organizations to create awareness of climate change and construct options for communities to initiate and sustain the change for a greener future.

Flood Relief

Pakistan flood relief effortsThe devastation caused by the recent floods in the Indus Valley has reached mythic proportions with the fury of the floods still not ceasing. The magnitude of destruction is unparalleled in the history of South Asia; the Pakistan government has estimates that at least 20 million people have been affected with the numbers expected to increase as the flooding continues to rage.

Pakistan Youth Climate Network is an environmental research and advocacy group that strives to inspire, motivate and engage the youth of Pakistan to play an instrumental role in initiating the change to combat climate change for their sustainable, viable future.  As realities of climate change begin to unfold creating a wave of destruction that continues to sweep the population of Pakistan, PYCN has begun to undertake relief efforts for the victims of the floods.
