A programme titled “Combating Climate Change: The Role of Media and Youth” was held at Jagannath University on 29 June 2026, highlighting the important role of young people and the media in addressing climate change and promoting environmental awareness.
The discussion emphasized the need to strengthen youth participation in climate action and use the media as an effective platform for communicating climate risks, raising public awareness, and encouraging environmentally responsible behaviour.
Speakers highlighted that young people can play a significant role in driving positive environmental change through advocacy, community engagement, innovation, and responsible use of digital and social media. The media can further amplify these efforts by bringing climate and environmental issues to wider public attention.
The programme called for stronger collaboration among youth, media professionals, educational institutions, and civil society to promote climate awareness and encourage collective action towards a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.
