Organized in solidarity with the global movement against climate change, YAJDA Bangladesh called for urgent, long-term changes to protect the environment.

The strike also highlighted local environmental issues facing Cox’s Bazar.
The key goals of the climate strike included raising awareness about the urgent need to address climate change, advocating for sustainable practices to ensure a livable future, and inspiring local and global leaders to prioritize environmental protection in policymaking.
