Climate

The effects of climate change are undeniable worldwide. While the impacts vary by country, only some in Africa, especially young people and frontline communities, are knowledgeable and aware of the climate issues despite bearing the brunt of the consequences.

 We focus on three main areas: educating people about climate change, developing policies to address climate issues, and helping the most affected communities, women, and young people participate in creating a sustainable future.

We aim to develop a critical mass of climate-literate Africans so that they can actively advocate for practical climate mitigation and adaptation measures in their communities. This will involve engaging with various stakeholders at local and national levels to help them grasp the impact of climate on individuals and society and how their daily actions affect the climate. While we focus on climate change’s health and economic effects, we will also consider other evidence-based impacts of climate change in our targeted communities.

We will collaborate with governments with natural conservation areas to enhance and efficiently execute strategies to conserve forests, manage and safeguard wetlands, and preserve other natural ecosystems and biodiversity.
