“Implementing Community Based Climate Action Initiatives: Strategies for sustainable change” is the project of Government College Women University Faisalabad (GCWUF), which involves fostering grassroots efforts to combat climate change at the local level. This project emphasizes community engagement and collaboration to implement effective solutions. Key strategies include raising awareness about climate issues, fostering partnerships between local governments, businesses and community organizations, promoting sustainable practices such as Plantation Drive, Women on Wheels Program, Renewable Energy Adoption and Waste Reduction and empowering citizens through education and participation.
