ActionDescriptionStatus
Convene stakeholders/NetworkingYoung people constitute more than 50 percent of Africa's population and therefore are notably among the most affected demographics, including women, when it comes to environmental issues. Major meetings like the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) are where action — or lack of it — is determined. The involvement of youths ensures that they learn these processes for continuity’s sake and brings their perspectives into the decisions that are adopted. At the end of the day, young people will remain behind a bit longer to suffer or benefit from such decisions.Completed
