What is Riyadah 13?

Libya faces significant climate challenges that affect various regions differently. Despite these challenges, the voices of youth, who are key stakeholders in addressing climate change, are often underrepresented. The Riyadah 13 project aims to empower young Libyan visionaries to take an active role in climate action by providing them with a platform to develop and showcase innovative solutions.
