Zero Carbon Africa
The Zero Carbon Africa Impact programme is an initiative with the ambitious goal of bolstering Africa’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions. Our core focus is to enhance the capacity and knowledge of young people, positioning them as climate action leaders. By equipping the youth with the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources, we aim to harness their potential as catalysts for transformative change.
Objectives
- Improve the knowledge and capacity of African youth about climate action and their roles in the implementation process.
- Raise youth networks to domesticate, engage, and monitor the implementation of net-zero climate action plans.
- Strengthen Africa’s commitment towards net-zero targets, in line with the Paris Agreement and national and regional levels.
