A trusted, youth-led non-profit driving transformational change across Nepal — guided by evidence, equity, and inclusivity.
Youth Action for Sustainable and Eco Nepal (YASEN) was established on 27 March 2023. We address the nation's most pressing challenges — climate change, environmental degradation, and social inequality — creating sustainable solutions that protect nature, meet human needs, and build resilient communities throughout Nepal.
