HYDERABAD, Nov 04 (APP):Emphasizing the need to prepare young people for growing climate and disaster-related challenges, Sindh Agriculture University (SAU), Tandojam has organized a training workshop under the TAYAR initiative, encouraging students to turn environmental awareness into practical action and strengthen community resilience.
According to the SAU spokesperson on Wednesday, the workshop was organized by the University’s Green Youth Movement (GYM) Club at the Faculty of Crop Protection under the program titled Training Adolescents and Youth for Action and Resilience (TAYAR).

Addressing the participants, Dean Faculty of Crop Protection Professor Dr. Abdul Mubeen Lodhi described climate change as a major global challenge that demands urgent, coordinated and collective efforts. He identified deforestation and industrial emissions as main contributors to environmental degradation and stressed the need for tree plantation, protection of natural resources and the adoption of environmentally responsible practices.
