Report Date: 18 Jun 2023
Colin Lambie, ASD-Green Activities & Environment of Asia Pacific Area 2022-2023
1. Share what you consider to be the achievements/highlights of the Region and the Area
- I am not doing enough, but after discussion with Area Green Team members, you (RDs) can expect request from me regarding action by clubs on climate change & environment.
2. Membership and Financial Target & Achievement (as may be applicable)
- Hopefully there will be many achievements in 2023-2024 to report on.
3. Outline specific objectives/actions you are proposing for 2023-24
- As well as finding out what clubs are doing about climate change and caring for the environment, I expect funds will need to be raised to do much more than what is being done.
4. Indicate topics needing Area or International attention
- Y's Men International have established a way for individuals and clubs to donate to 'green activity' projects. I expect this to also be appropriate at Area level.
5. Additional Comments, if any
- YMCAs is Asia appear to be very concerned about climate change. It is also one of the YMCA World key issues. YMI action on climate change & the environment will strengthen the partnership between YMI & YMCA.
