🌱 Introduction: A Call to Action

Nepal stands at a critical junction. As we deal with growing health concerns like non-communicable diseases (NCDs), we are also witnessing the harsh effects of climate change—erratic rainfall, polluted air, and rising temperatures. But there is hope. Youth from all corners of Nepal are coming forward with energy and commitment to drive real change in both sectors—health and environment.

🔍 The Link Between Health and Climate

Climate change and human health are deeply connected. Here's how:

🏭 Air pollution contributes to lung diseases, strokes, and heart conditions.
🌊 Floods and droughts affect agriculture and access to clean drinking water.
🦟 Vector-borne diseases like dengue and malaria are spreading to new areas due to warming temperatures.
🧠 Mental health suffers due to disasters, displacement, and uncertainty.

Improving the environment means improving health for all.

💪 Youth Leading the Movement

The youth of Nepal are not just observers—they are the change-makers. Across cities and villages, young leaders are:

🌿 Starting school and college-based eco-health clubs.
🏥 Organizing free health check-ups and awareness campaigns in rural areas.
📣 Running social media pages for environmental awareness and healthy lifestyles.
🧹 Conducting community clean-up events and tree plantation drives.

This is youth power in action—bold, informed, and solution-oriented.

📚 What You Can Do

You can also be a part of this powerful movement. Here’s how:

📖 Educate Yourself – Follow blogs, podcasts, and verified news about health and climate.
🗣 Raise Your Voice – Use your platform to share facts and ideas.
🚴‍♀️ Adopt Green Habits – Use public transport, reduce waste, go plastic-free.
🥗 Stay Healthy – Eat well, stay active, avoid tobacco and alcohol.
🤝 Join a Local Initiative – Be part of youth clubs, NGOs, or school programs focused on environment and health.

📢 Final Thoughts
