Green Box is a youth-driven engagement lab nurturing sustainability leadership in Pakistan. We are developing the ‘Sustainable Impact Partners Program’ to engage tertiary level students across Pakistan to receive 100 credit hours of training on sustainability leadership skills, peer mentorship and access to exclusive digital simulations based ‘Footprint©’ curriculum. They are encouraged to co-develop evidence-based, innovative projects addressing local environmental sustainability challenges. In the first annual cohort, we are working on projects ranging from developing low-cost enzyme impregnated strips to assess local water contamination levels, conducting research on climate change impacts on modern slavery incidence, developing eco-friendly office stationary using community waste, to crowdsourcing real-time data for monitoring environmental impacts of local systems and holding policymakers accountable for their actions.
