AÇÜ Climate Ambassador Didem Ergün Attended the Climate Ambassadors Training Camp in Konya

Artvin Çoruh University (AÇÜ) Climate Ambassador and Faculty of Forestry student Didem ERGÜN participated in the training camp held in Konya between September 29 – October 2, 2025, as part of the “Climate Ambassadors Movement” organized by the Climate Change Directorate under the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change of the Republic of Türkiye.

At the camp, which included Climate Ambassador Didem ERGÜN, a student of AÇÜ’s Faculty of Forestry, young people from all over Türkiye came together to raise awareness about combating climate change and to be encouraged to take the lead in local and national climate actions.

The four-day training camp, which was also attended by Deputy President of the Climate Change Directorate Orhan SOLAK, aimed to encourage young people to take an active role in Türkiye’s fight against climate change. During the camp, participants had the opportunity to develop sustainable solutions and engage in decision-making processes. In addition, recent developments related to climate change were shared with the attendees.

As part of the camp, organized in cooperation with the Climate Change Directorate and UNICEF, capacity-building trainings were provided on topics such as the scientific foundations of climate change, adaptation policies, negotiations, the climate law, carbon pricing, and green finance. Through these trainings, participating youth enhanced their knowledge and skills on climate policies, gaining the capacity to carry out more effective initiatives at the local level.

Sharing her thoughts on the camp experience, AÇÜ Climate Ambassador Didem ERGÜN said:

“Through this camp, we gained very valuable knowledge about climate change and developed new perspectives. With the training I received during the camp, I believe we will implement more effective projects, especially within Artvin Çoruh University.”

Artvin Çoruh University continues to support its students in taking an active role in promoting environmental awareness and sustainability.
