Tehran – The innovative project proposed by the Iranian Red Crescent Association (IRCS) team, led by Setayesh Halimi Mofrad, has been named the Top 10 final recipient of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Social Affairs (IFRC) Academy of Infinite Youth Innovation.
These projects address climate change, water scarcity and environmental challenges through sustainable solutions such as biogas digestive systems, real-time water monitoring and waste recycling.
The IRCS project, entitled “Reducing the Environmental Damage from Innovative E-Waste Recycling,” is the first kind in the country’s region. This initiative breaks new ground by enabling cyclicality in neglected waste flows, repeating environmental challenges, transforming them into resource-based solutions, and setting precedents for localized innovation.
Limitless is a global initiative dedicated to helping young people create impactful and innovative solutions to humanitarian issues. This year, the event focused on addressing climate and environmental challenges that impact our communities.
More than 7,000 youth participants and peer mentors from 142 countries have been involved and collectively developed over 1,500 innovative projects that have impacted more than 1.9 million people.
