Advocacy

Our advocacy programme focuses on amplifying youth voices in climate justice in Africa and capacitating young people to engage in advocacy in their communities while contributing to the shaping of climate policy.

Our advocacy work includes:

Capacitating youth voices for movement building

Building capacity to advocate for climate policy

Campaigning for climate justice

Some of our key advocacy work:

  • Supporting our Cancel Coal Campaign through consultations and knowledge-building activations that draw attention to the harms of a coal-reliant society

  • Co-authoring open letters and opinion pieces that contribute to thought leadership across the continent.

  • Online conference series workshops - Africa’s Youth Voices - which aims to foster collaboration, build solidarity, and develop joint messages from youth living in Africa, ahead of COP.

  • Consultations and Policy Submissions that reflect the lived experiences of young people.

  • Our annual #Messages2COP campaign that amplifies the messages that young people want to deliver to their leaders.

  • In person and Online Edu-Advocacy Workshops that build collective knowledge and inspire action.

  • Engaging with government to bring about systemic change through submissions and consultations that centre the lived experience of those most affected by climate change.
