Project Content

Global climate change and its reflections have begun to be felt concretely in the world and in our country. While the increase in greenhouse gas emissions continues, the number of countries that do not have policies to produce a definitive solution is too many. In addition to the drought, which increases with the change of the rainfall amount, the increase in water consumption and the pollution of our water basins also brings about an ecological and social crisis.

Our project is planned to open an area that will enable young people to come together with different cultures to make risk analyzes regarding this process and develop harm reduction / preventive policies as a result of these analyzes. Therefore, it is expected that young people from different cultures gather together around a common goal and act in a collective working principle.
