Thematic Areas:
Climate Change
Climate and environmental literacy are more important than ever. Education is key to the fight against climate change. You can’t win a war against your enemy if you don’t know your enemy as your friend. Just as other kinds of literacy allow access to decision – making and participation in democratic processes, environmental and climate literacy
Biological Diversity
” Biodiversity underpins all(…) ecosystem functions and benefits essential to human well – being, not only in term of our economies, but also for our health, food security, prevention of natural hazards, and our cultural root”,
– Ban KO – Monrovia, UN Secretary-General, 2015.
Disaster Risk Reduction
Disaster Risk Reduction is of major concern to the public and a human rights issue that cannot be ignored. Climate change poses a serious risk to future disasters to come if not reduce. Youth, women, and children are most at risk, especially in Africa. The Sendai Framework for Disaster
Climate Entrepreneurship
The sole purpose is to energize entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs to tackle climate change through innovation and problem-solving. ” A person who sees a problem is a human being. A person who finds a solution is visionary. And the person who goes out and does something is an entrepreneur”.
Youth Inclusion
Africa is the most exposed region to the adverse effects of climate change despite contributing the least to global warming. The region is already disproportionately feeling the impacts related to a changing climate. Devastating cyclones affected 3 million people in Mozambique, Malawi, and Zimbabwe in the spring of 2018.
