How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Sughd Climate Fest empowers women in rural areas and youth, who are disproportionately affected by climate change. Women in rural Tajikistan play a central role in agriculture, a sector highly vulnerable to climate risks such as water scarcity and extreme weather events. Through the festival, women gain access to innovative climate-smart technologies, such as efficient irrigation systems and renewable energy solutions, which reduce labor intensity, increase productivity, and enhance resilience. Thematic workshops and showcases equip them with the knowledge and tools to implement solutions in their communities, fostering financial independence and sustainability.

Youth engagement encourages young people to develop practical, innovative projects for climate adaptation and mitigation, providing a platform for their ideas and awarding winners with resources and recognition. YGPE, as the lead organizer, ensures inclusive representation in its structure and activities.
