Voices of Bharat: Yuva for Sustainability invites students and youth (19-29 year old) to the first edition of the Yuva Sustainability Conference, titled 'Sustainability Storytelling for Green India: A Movement to Empower Youth'. This is a nationwide initiative to empower digital storytellers among the youth to create mass environmental awareness and inspire climate action.
Exploring the vital intersection of climate change, public health, and media, speakers will share insights and real-world examples to help participants connect global challenges with everyday experiences. This will equip students with the knowledge to create compelling digital content—such as reels, short videos, podcasts, and digital stories—designed to raise awareness, drive behaviour change and inspire climate action.
The webinar "Telling Climate and Disaster Stories Right" explores how to communicate these complex issues with accuracy, nuance, and responsibility, while remembering that not every disaster is caused by human-induced climate change and that evidence-based reporting is essential.
The webinar on Rewriting the Story of Waste: Circular Solutions Made Simple
will focus on circular economy principles, recycling, upcycling, eco-design, and impactful sustainability communication.
The webinar on ‘Mental Health in Climate Crisis: A Call to Speak Up’ on the eve of World Mental Health Day 2025 will explore how trauma can turn into resilience when we choose to speak up – act.
The conference will rewind COP30 and fast-forward to empowering informed youth leaders, unlocking bold climate action pathways and strengthening shared responsibility for a resilient future by inspiring dialogue, partnerships and long-term climate commitments.
As the world accelerates toward the SDGs and net-zero targets, this conference serves as a dynamic multi-stakeholder knowledge exchange, designed to move beyond ambition and into impact. Convening educational institutions, industry representatives and media and communication experts in a shared space for dialogue, learning, and celebration of success stories, the conference positions youth at the heart of the sustainability agenda as storytellers and change agents.
