Young people taking climate action
Climate change affects all of us, but it’s the world’s poorest people who are being impacted the most.
Together we can tackle this crisis, but we need to take climate action now.
Young people are making change happen
“I was inspired by nature. This is the place where I grew up. And I remember planting my first tree at the age of 7 years old.”
Elizabeth Wathuti, founder of the Green Generation Initiative, that nurtures young children to love nature, in Kenya

Young people are leading the way in taking action for our planet and its people

Young climate activist Jessy, visiting the UK from Malawi.
