The focus? Inter-University and School Youth Debates, where young voices chimed in on ‘Youth Engagement for Sustainable Water, Environment, and Climate Action.

Organized by the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) – Karamoja Water Management Zone (KWMZ), along with Youth Go Green and the youth sub-committee, the aim was to get young minds buzzing about how to tackle big environmental problems. From across the Eastern Region, 10 universities and 10 schools received invitations. The idea was to bring in fresh ideas and viewpoints on how to handle issues like saving water, taking care of nature, and dealing with climate change.

At the debates, participants shared their thoughts on things like saving water, keeping things clean, using green energy, and fighting climate change. It was all about encouraging them to think hard and come up with smart ways to help their communities and the environment.
