Startup Synergy - Bridging Ideas, Building Futures: Entrepreneur closed room discussions initiated by SLASSCOM's Women Technopreneurs Forum, in its 3rd edition, Hasith Yaggahavit, the CEO of 99x, is a dynamic leader with backgrounds in engineering, research, human resources, and marketing. He initiated the Sri Lankan chain of maker spaces, IgniterSpace. He, led an impactful discussion on the landscape of entrepreneurship, with the goal of encouraging young people's creativity and innovation among potential start-up Technopreneurs. These series of discussions serves as a springboard for creativity and a route to produce Sri Lanka's next tech startup unicorn.

Greta Thunberg once said, "We cannot solve the climate crisis without including youth voices and perspectives." It matters hence youth have the power to raise awareness, mobilize communities, and finding sustainable solutions from their fresh ideas. I am happy to say that, I was able to talk to the responsible persons in chairs of Ministry of environment and CSO to get the support of the youth in the decision/ policy-making process of Sri Lanka in relation to #climatechange! This will be a new experience for the government too because the youth community does not involve much in SL like other countries do. Anyway we hope that there will be some fruitful work in future. Sri Lanka is highly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. Adapting to climate change, is becoming a routine and necessary component of planning at all levels. The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2016-2025 is a key instrument in identifying adaptation needs and developing and implementing strategies and programs to address those needs. The Climate Change Secretariat of the Ministry of Environment, via the delivery partner, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), is currently in the process of revising the NAP 2016-2025 under the GCF-funded NAP Readiness Support Project. The NAP 2016-2025 recognized the establishment of a Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) forum to support climate actions that have grassroots level operations. It will function as a supporting body for Sector Climate Cells (SCC) and the National Working Group and Provincial Climate Institutions being established parallelly. #ClimateAction #youthinclimateaction #GGGI #ClimateChange
