At the ARA-TLS Knowledge Synthesis Symposium 2025 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, our Founder, Mr. SM Shaikat, emphasized the critical role of youth engagement in urban planning and climate adaptation.
Through initiatives like the Urban Youth Council and the Youth Coalition for Climate Justice, SERAC-Bangladesh is amplifying young voices, empowering them to lead in sustainable urban development, inclusive policy-making, and climate resilience strategies.
Youth should not be merely consulted they must be institutionally integrated into decision-making processes to shape a just and sustainable future for our cities.
