Young Leaders for Active Citizenship (YLAC)’s Post

Grateful to everyone who joined us at the 'Public Tech Meets Active Citizenship' event we co-organized in New York last Friday. It was truly an inspiring gathering! A special thank you to Sanjay Purohit ji for setting the tone with an insightful overview of India’s DPI journey and highlighting pathways for meaningful citizen engagement. We’re excited about the potential to collaborate with many of you moving forward. A big thank you to Acumen and Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies for their invaluable support in making this event possible!

Over the past month, the Women Climate Collective, an initiative by Fondation L'Oréal & Purpose has brought together diverse voices from various sectors to advance the fight for climate justice. As the Lead Training Partner for WCC, we at Young Leaders for Active Citizenship (YLAC) are proud to have designed and hosted a series of strategic training sessions aimed at amplifying our collective impact of the 2024 cohort. From media strategy and engaging with government stakeholders to perfecting the art of fundraising, each session was thoughtfully crafted to empower the WCC climate leaders with the tools and insights to create real, sustainable change in their communities. These sessions helped the leaders deepen their understanding of effective advocacy and equipped them to leverage collaborations to amplify grassroots efforts and drive policy change at scale. We are immensely grateful to all the experts and changemakers, including Pragya Mathur, Nandan Sharalaya, Anshul Tewari, and Kailash Nadh, who contributed their time and expertise to the WCC cohort. A special thank you to the incredible team behind WCC for their dedication in making this initiative possible. We look forward to seeing how these climate leaders continue to lead the way for climate action!

Today, as part of the Sustainable Mobility Network, we are excited to share a short film highlighting the daily challenges faced by people navigating our cities. Rohini walks nearly 10 km every day through streets crowded with smoke-belching vehicles. Our cities must prioritize the health and mobility needs of individuals like her. As urbanization accelerates, air pollution has become a silent crisis, with road transport as a major contributor. On this World Car Free Day, let’s rethink our streets and urban spaces. Pollution and traffic will only decrease when cities are designed for people, not vehicles. Together, we can advocate for cleaner, safer, and more inclusive cities that serve everyone’s needs. #MyAccessMatters #WorldCarFreeDay
