“Climate Action Challenge 2022”

“EarthHour2EarthDay” challenge has been organized for the second year as a 28-day Climate Action Challenge, starting from “Earth Hour” on 26 March to “Earth Day'' on 22 April 2022. Each day, APAY uploaded a challenge to commit to the following day.

The challenge has provided interesting and challenging ideas on how our personal actions and habits can help to save our mother earth.

Some challenges were:

-Walking 10,000 steps along with picking up 10 trashes on the way;

-Eating healthy every Monday;

-Using public transportation;

-Turning off electrical appliances when not in use, unplugging them as much as possible;

-Avoiding food and clothing waste.


There were 116 people participating in the challenge as an individual and group. We are truly happy that the participants committed themselves to acts of personal mitigation and adaptation on climate change through the challenge.
