NYRE 2022
Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) is an international programme operated by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), the world's largest environmental education organisation. The programme, which has active members from 77 countries, provides an opportunity for young people to discuss environmental issues using written, photographic, or video. Based on that, this programme also empowers young people to gain knowledge and take a stand on environmental issues that involve themselves and the communities they live in.
As the national operator of YRE Malaysia, Green Growth Asia Foundation (GGAF) is organising the National Young Reporters for the Environment (NYRE) programme for this year, which will feature numerous interesting workshops as well as competitions at various levels. Interested individuals can participate at the state level before being selected for the next national level, where they will represent their country at the YRE International Competitions.
​
This year, YRE Malaysia is organising the National Young Reporters for the Environment (NYRE) 2022 Competitions.
