Dhaka, September 28, 2023<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014On September 26-28, the U.S. Embassy Dhaka, in collaboration with\u202fGenLab, a youth-led social enterprise, successfully hosted youth climate activists to discuss collaboration opportunities to tackle air quality. The 50 youth climate champions hail from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. U.S. Ambassador Peter Haas attended the closing ceremony on Thursday, inspiring the young delegates to\u202fcontinue their essential work in environmental conservation.<\/p>\n
