Abstract
The whole world is facing threats to climate-induced vulnerabilities. Bangladesh is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries. Empowering youth towards climate science, mitigation, and adaptation strategies, sustainability can ensure that our future generation meets the challenges and acts accordingly. We did a mixed-method study for a group of students in a variety of activities (workshop, report writing, field visit, case study competition, idea challenge, sustainable solutions, etc) over the period of 10 months as a part of their cocurricular activities and recorded their feedback, and also the observations. Our study reveals that the students involved in this plan showed much positive understanding of climate science, changed their actions towards nature and natural resource conservation, followed a sustainable lifestyle, and showed academic excellence. This concept can be replicated in a similar context in different countries.
