In an era of processes, Teens Uganda
spear heads a number of environment programs to stimulate interests of
individuals, communities, and strengthening partnerships with institutions seeking
new ways to solve problems collectively. While working with young people there’s
need to consider each interested party on an individual basis, youth clubs and
on merits. The underlying reason is that young people and interested parties
bring along with them own ideas, viewpoints, and practices.
With pressures mounting due to climate change, energy, food and water issues, experts emphasize that young people are not participating enough to address the new climatic challenges. Therefore, concerted efforts to draw young people in theory and practice across many disciplines have already started to trigger various reactions across the edge. Even though it is early to determine the rate and extent of progress, the increasing global attention young people signifies that young people need be considered especially while making important decisions that will affect them.  |

There are different aspects to take in
account to understand youth motivations: how they are engaged in development
activities, their connection to knowledge, to ICTs, to community and nature,
their understanding of sustainability and Enhancing Ecosystems based Approaches.
With the growing interest in
socioeconomic empowerment of both individuals and communities, there has need
for simple innovative approaches that can enhance livelihood and lift standards
of living omen and women in the communities. Therefore, a number of campaigns
and behavioural change actions need to be executed to meet the overall
environmental objective and at the same time meet the long term implications
especially to community linked to sustainable development.
