Environmental Protection & Climate Action
Climate Action Starts Here
Simple stories and clear steps from early warnings to safety.
RRSA uses storytelling as a powerful tool to raise awareness, mobilize communities and influence behavior change around environmental protection in Bidibidi Refugee Settlement and host communities. Through creative narratives, Youth and women-led storytelling initiatives amplify voices on climate challenges and solutions, bridging knowledge gaps between experts and local communities.
