Sustain The World

RISE2030, a project managed by Sustain The World org and SEFY International , is a community-led initiative that focuses on women and youth empowerment, aiming at building capacity & improving living conditions of those living in deprived areas, through education, employment, and empowerment. RISE2030 empowers women, youth and refugees while contributing to Lebanon’s climate transition by providing sustainable education and employment in the green sector in deprived regions of Lebanon. The initiative includes different components designed together to achieve rural development, individual empowerment, and decentralization of power. The solution started in March 2018 in Lebanon and is led by an all women board and 80% of the board is youth. The project won the 2020 UN Global Climate action award at UNFCCC Cop26 for integrating women and youth as frontline change makers in climate change issues and economic development.
