Background of the Study
Youth organizations play an increasingly significant role in climate change mitigation, particularly in local communities. In Minna Local Government Area (LGA), Niger State, youth organizations have emerged as key advocates for environmental sustainability, raising awareness about climate change, and promoting grassroots initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and improving environmental resilience (Muhammad & Idris, 2024). The global climate crisis demands immediate action, and youth organizations are often seen as change agents who can mobilize both local and international support to address environmental challenges. This study explores the role of youth organizations in Minna, investigating their involvement in climate change mitigation strategies and assessing their effectiveness in driving change within their communities.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing awareness about the impacts of climate change, the role of youth organizations in addressing these issues at the local level is under-explored. In Minna, while some youth groups are actively involved in climate change mitigation, the full extent of their efforts and the barriers they face in creating sustainable environmental changes remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate the contributions of youth organizations to climate change mitigation in Minna and identify the challenges they encounter in their advocacy and implementation efforts.

1.6 Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the potential of youth organizations in fostering climate change mitigation efforts in Minna and similar communities. The findings will inform the development of policies and programs that support youth involvement in environmental sustainability and provide recommendations for enhancing their effectiveness (Muhammad & Idris, 2024). The study will also highlight the importance of youth participation in climate action, emphasizing the role they can play in shaping the future of their communities and the planet.
1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on youth organizations within Minna Local Government Area, examining their involvement in climate change mitigation efforts. Limitations of the study include challenges in accessing data from some youth organizations and potential biases in self-reported outcomes from the groups themselves.
