About the Book

The “Environment Policy and Action Youth Fellowship: Event Outcome Report” by Bhargavi S Rao, Simi Mehta, Vaishali Singh, Priyanka Negi, and Aasthaba Jadeja serves as a valuable resource for nurturing the next generation of leaders in the field of environmental policy and sustainable development. This comprehensive report highlights the fellowship’s focus on developing critical thinking, analytical skills, and a global perspective among participants. The fellowship effectively integrated theoretical knowledge with practical applications, providing fellows with a deep understanding of environmental policy, community engagement, and global sustainability goals.

The fellowship covered a wide range of topics, including fostering community ownership and collaboration, addressing the unique challenges faced by minority groups, aligning legislative efforts with contemporary environmental needs, critically assessing progress towards Sustainable Development Goals, exploring the symbiotic relationship between the private sector and environmental sustainability, and redefining eco-tourism principles to support conservation and community empowerment. The anthology is further enriched by personal narratives and reflections from fellows, community partners, and policy-makers.

Through the collective experiences and insights shared in this book, we aspire to empower the fellows to become influential leaders who can actively contribute to the environmental dialogue and action within their communities and beyond.
