We’re inviting all students between the ages of 11 and 25 to participate in the 2024 Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) Competition.

About YRE Bangladesh:

Welcome to YRE Bangladesh, where your youth, your passion, and your potential converge to lead change!

With nearly one-third of our population being youth, we’re on the cusp of a unique demographic dividend. Yet, Bangladesh’s rank at 126th out of 130 on the global youth development index underscores our untapped potential.

YRE Bangladesh, driven by Probha Aurora, provides the platform for youth to unleash their power. Through investigative journalism and multimedia storytelling – articles, photography, videography – we empower you to advocate, research, and craft solutions.

Climate change is an intergenerational challenge, and its adverse effects will be disproportionately shouldered by today’s youth in the near future. YRE Bangladesh is committed to nurturing the next generation of environmental leaders who are equipped to tackle climate change head-on. Our mission is to give our environment a powerful and resonant voice through the passionate commitment of the youth. Together, let’s amplify our environment’s voice and make a resounding difference.
