The "Climate Ambassadors" green camp, organised by the EIEC under the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia was successfully completed by 32 young people.

Certificates were presented to camp attendees by Ekaterine Bendeliani, the deputy director of the EIEC.

The days of the camp were filled with raising awareness among young people about topics related to environmental protection and climate change, enhancing teamwork skills among participants, planning an environmental advocacy campaign, and using non-formal education approaches. "Green Camp - Climate Ambassadors is a unity of highly motivated and educated young people.

I am sure that the interests of the young climate ambassadors will be related to environmental protection and will be initiators of positive changes. Educated and motivated youth have the ability to change the environment for the better. Ekaterine Bendeliani.
