Join YUGA in our first ever Climate Change Campaign! We are raising awareness about the fact that our daily life is affecting the environment negatively. Together we can stop climate change through simple efforts made every day!
We want YOU to get involved with YUGA in our first year advocating for an end to climate change!
World leaders have made the promise of achieving the Millennium Development Goal of ensuring environmental sustainability by 2015. Let's make this happen!
There are four ways you can join the YUGA campaign — and you can do as many activities as you like! It’s up to you: dedicate an hour, a week or a month to it, or focus all of your efforts on March 17 (Go Green on St. Patrick’s Day!) or April 22nd, Earth Day.
