Who we are
We help young Bangladeshis turn environmental curiosity into credible journalism.
YRE is an international programme of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), running since 1994. In Bangladesh, young reporters research local issues, propose solutions and share their stories to inspire action.
2025–2026 national theme
Food security & climate change
This year’s YRE Bangladesh National Competition invites young reporters to investigate how a changing climate affects the food we grow, buy and eat — and to find the people and ideas making a difference.
- Farmers adapting to floods, drought and salinity
- Food waste, markets and what ends up on our plates
- Local solutions that protect both people and nature
