Safe Environment Nepal-Youth for Conservation (SEN-Y4C) with support from APMN/ICIMOD under its youth for sustainable development (Y4SMD) programme is conducting the Nepal National Youth Forum on Green Solution from 6- 8 December 2012 in Kathmandu, Nepal. Youth can make a difference provided they realise their importance to their society, nation and the globe as a whole. The major hindrance to todays youth is unemployment due to lack of opportunity and awareness. Opportunity can be created utilising available resources and, SEN-Y4C- is committed towards raising awareness among youth about the environmental aspect of humans, making wise use of available natural resources, identifying gaps and bridging them through trainings and capacity building to achieve the sustainable development goal. To bring forward this important component and more importantly to promote green solutions for youths, SEN-Y4C announces the call for application from all interested youths (aged 1529) from all over Nepal.
