Project Methodology
A short, structured telephonic survey was conducted with hundreds of youth participants from India and Bangladesh using a snowball sampling approach to reach a diverse yet targeted respondent pool aged 17 to 24. The survey instrument consisted of 25–30 pre-designed questions covering knowledge and perceptions of the green revolution, understanding of climate action including preferred regulatory measures, views on the government’s role in integrating climate education into youth curricula, and awareness of green job opportunities. DIA oversaw delivery of the survey, ensuring high-quality data collection and full completion of the targeted sample size, with the telephonic format enabling rapid outreach while minimizing logistical challenges.
Impact
The project provides a nuanced understanding of how young people in India and Bangladesh perceive climate action, environmental education, and opportunities in the green economy, highlighting key awareness gaps, educational priorities, and expectations from governments. Findings are expected to inform future policy discussions on climate change education, youth engagement, and green skills development, guiding curriculum design, awareness campaigns, and policy frameworks aimed at equipping youth for the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.
