African Youth Initiative on Climate Change- AYICC Kenya

Jambo!

We are the African Youth Initiative on Climate Change – Kenya (Kenya Chapter), a group of young Kenyans dedicated to fighting for climate change and for the future of the young people. The Africa Youth Initiative on Climate Change (AYICC) was founded in 2006 at the 12th Conference of Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Nairobi. The network brings together youth organizations, students groups and movements in Africa that work on environmental and sustainable development projects, and who all have a common vision to combat Climate Change.

Our key Goals are to ensure the participation of African Youth in the Climate Change debate at the national through international levels, identify and seek support for youth driven Climate Change best practices and appraise the youth awareness and understanding of Climate Change and its impacts.

Over the past six years, the movement has implemented varied projects in various African countries rangin from advocacy projects with students, trainings, filmmaking to documenting youth best practices, making of solar powered products, involvement in policy making processes with the government, research among many others. The network is currently in 31 African countries.

This blog, is just a tip of what the movement is all about in Kenya. We hope that our work will inspire you to take action in your own country and change the society.
