​
Our project will address Bhutan’s shortage of skills in climate change adaptation through a “wrap-around” program which provides financially disadvantaged young women from rural Bhutan with
​
-
Tertiary qualifications via access to BSc Environmental Management degrees at Royal Thimphu College in Bhutan; and
-
Employment readiness via access to internships, mentoring, communication skills, and other supplemental coaching to help young women build their confidence and self-belief and to impact the environmental sector in Bhutan by eventually gaining professional and management decision making positions.
​
The impact of this project on Bhutan and the women’s families and communities could extend well past 2050 as these women pursue long careers in environmental management within government, intergovernmental and private sector entities in Bhutan.
