The concerns of youths in the efforts taken to improve education and raise awareness about environmental protection are essential. Significant effort related to community engagement among youths have been recorded over the past decades, however there are many other underprivileged youth communities who are still lack of sufficient expertise and space to act inhibiting their ability to implement anything on their own.

 

It is important for youth to be recognized by both local and international agencies such as governing agencies and other decision-making bodies as a legitimate voice concerning issues about out Mother Nature. Youths can easily be empowered resulting in more effective and efficient efforts about environmental protection given with the full collaborative supports from their local government entities and other youth-related agencies particularly. The existing efforts taken by the government may not be adequate to facilitate effective understanding of the concurrent local and global environmental issues. There is a need to improve the quality of education in many schools and other extra-curricular activities across the trans-boundary levels of a nation with respect to enhancing the culture of good environmental awareness among both the young children and working adults.

 
Communication gaps are prevalent where many youths are not properly informed of the existing and future initiatives for environmental protection which are running within their own neighbouring areas. Utilizing other channels besides solely dependent on the Internet to engage with youths will be definitely able to increase the accessibility of more youths from different socio-economic backgrounds. In fact, there is also a lack of willingness of certain authorities to share vital environmental information with their communities, particularly to the youths. The extent of youth involvement and activities is largely unknown, however this gap can be bridged when there is a proper documentation and information sharing between organizations, government and community groups (specifically to the youths). Furthermore, a lack of collaboration and involvement among youths are observed in most of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives implemented by private entities. These CSR initiatives should be expanded to encourage the active involvement of more communities groups especially youths in the effort to promote environmental conservation and protection issues.

 
The importance of youth involvement in relation to global environmental issues is visibly seen after the devastating earthquake took place last April 2015 in Nepal. Many Nepali youths were significantly involved in carried out various initiatives including the building restoration and helping vulnerable groups of people at the affected sites have proved themselves to be motivated, energetic and passionate about global environmental issues.
