聯合國於2012年宣布將每年的3月21日定為「國際森林日」，旨在喚起人們對森林的關注，並呼籲各國政府、組織和個人共同努力，保護和可持續管理世界各地的森林資源。 配合「國際森林日」，香港青年協會可持續發展部獲工銀亞洲慈善基金贊助，在2024年3月16日舉辦「樹林保育體驗」，提高公眾對於森林保育的認識，並鼓勵社會大眾共同保護我們寶貴的自然資源。 活動當日，企業義工與一眾青年到大欖郊野公園大棠植樹區內進行樹苗護理，提升植林區植物多樣性及建立良好的樹林結構和生態功能，讓樹苗健康成長。通過教育和體驗，參加者能更深入了解森林保育的重要性，並啟發年輕一代對環境保護的關注和參與，成為未來的環保領袖。 實踐低碳生活，讓地球資源得以永續！ 香港青年協會與工銀亞洲慈善基金攜手推出「青年減碳平台」，鼓勵及推動地區青年在生活上實踐減碳行為。透過簡單登記，記錄日常生活中減少碳排放的行為，定期輸入減碳記錄，同時更可檢視和培養低碳生活習慣。你的每一個減碳行為，都有助減少對環境的影響，協助保育環境，讓地球資源得以永續。
