Organised by Eco-Singapore, the bi-annual National Youth Environment Forum (NYEF) is a platform for youths to voice out their opinion on environmental issues to the relevant agencies and also explore options to address them. Participants will spend a day mingling with experts, activists, NGOs and other individuals who are keen to make a positive difference to our Earth. This will give them a greater perspective on different aspects on the environmental issue, which will allow for more comprehensive solutions to emerge.This year, with the theme 'Beyond Awareness', participants will learn how environmental issues is interconnected and affected by actions on legislation, business, technology, social attitude and media. At the end of the forum, participants will produce a paper of concerns and policies which they hope to see improve on the environment, which will be submitted to the relevant ministries and corporate partners.
Aside from the forum providing an educational and interactive platform for youth to voice their environmental concerns, participants are expected to come up with an action plan to carry out proposed solutions to be carried with the support and partnership with a relevant NGO, special interest group or educational institution.
