Same Storm Different Boats: Telling the African Climate Story
Youth climate activism has continued to raise the consciousness of the urgency with which public and political action on the climate crisis is required.
The continent of Africa bears the brunt of the impact of the climate crisis and young Africans are at the frontline of climate action, however, they are not seen on the front page (and sometimes even deleted from the front page), nor are their voices heard during the debates on climate change.
What will it take to get their voices to the table? What do they offer to the conversations? and what are they optimistic about?
Our Chairperson, Wanjira Maathai will host Greta Thunberg, a young climate and environmental activist from Sweden, Elizabeth Wathuti, a Kenyan environment and climate activist, Vanessa Nakate, a young climate justice activist from Uganda, Olumide Idowu, an environmental and climate activist from Nigeria. and Prof. Youba Sokona, a veteran scientist in addressing energy, environment and sustainable development in Africa.
