Climate change is a threat to Africa’s future
Particularly among its poorest and most vulnerable populations. rising temperatures, more frequent and intense droughts, declining crop yields, and increased water scarcity are all consequences of climate change that disproportionately affect African communities.
Youth, the most affected by Climate Change, are the solution to address it
African Youth are uniquely positioned to confront the impact of climate change through their innovative ideas, creativity and enthusiasm. African youth can create solutions that address the pressing issues of climate change such as food insecurity, water scarcity, and environmental degradation.
African Youth Are Already Leading The Way In Developing Innovative Climate Solutions.
Join the African Youth Climate Hub and be part of the solution
A Youth-led initiative, fostering exchange, skill development, and entrepreneurial opportunities for young Africans for Climate Action. The African Youth Climate Hub is an initiative to respond to and amplify the voices and action of Youth, starting with African Youth. This is an initiative for youth and by youth that aims to be a positive space for exchange and concrete support for young Africans both in terms of skills and knowledge and in terms of entrepreneurship and job opportunities. Based on two axes (Digital and Physical Hubs) to support an Empowered, Included and Equal Youth, AYCH is composed of 6 main components.
The Network aims to foster African Youth leadership around key climate issues, particularly to identify, inspire and connect young African climate leaders demonstrating high transformative potential, much needed to accelerate the alignment of public and private decision-making processes with the Paris Agreement.

Establishment of an agroecological farm
Our village is facing a reduction in arable land and the disappearance of forests (a decline in natural resources). The lack of activities in the village leads to the migration of young people to cities (rural exodus), who later engage in clandestine emigration. The aim of this project is to provide the population with a conducive environment for their personal development. It is in direct alignment with the pillars of sustainable development (social, environmental, economic) and primarily targets young people in schools to instill eco-responsible values from an early age.
