Raising student awareness on air quality and climate: Edu4Climate at UCY Youth Fair

The Municipality of Nicosia, as a partner in the Edu4Climate, engaged with students during the University of Cyprus Youth Fair held on 23 April 2026 in Nicosia, using the event to communicate project results on air quality and climate change and raise awareness within the student community.

During the event, municipal officers interacted with more than 300 university students, presenting key topics addressed by the Edu4Climate project, including the importance of tackling climate change and improving urban air quality at the local level.

More specifically, officers shared insights derived from Edu4Climate project outputs, including information on urban air quality monitoring, climate change mitigation actions, and how local nature-based solutions such as urban greenery contribute to improved environmental conditions. They also explained the air quality data collection process led by The Cyprus Institute and how the Municipality of Nicosia supports this initiative through the air quality signpost in Aglantzia, which provides live air quality information.

This event marks one of the initiatives taken by the Municipality of Nicosia, in collaboration with CARE-C of the Cyprus Institute, to inform and educate the public about air pollution and climate change, one of the main objectives of the Edu4Climate project.
