Climate Activism: A civil society engagement assessment in Myanmar

In the last years in Myanmar we have observing a raise in the number of youth-led organizations involved in a range of climate change and environmental related work. To better understand the relationship between climate change action and Myanmar’s civil society, this study focuses on how CSOs, in particular youth-led CSOs, are engaging with climate change mitigation and adaptation issues in three different regions in Myanmar: Ayeyarwady, the Dry Zone and Kayin State. For the CSOs and youth networks involved in the study, it assesses capacity building and training needs as well as the possibility of creating a CSO-led coordination mechanism for climate justice in Myanmar.
