Description
In a world where the climate crisis disproportionately impacts indigenous communities and their ancestral lands, the voices of indigenous youth are more crucial than ever. They stand on the frontlines, defending their cultures, traditions, and environments against the challenges posed by climate change. Our event shines a spotlight on the unique struggles and triumphs of indigenous youth, not only in Kenya but across Africa and Asia. Through powerful stories, insights, and innovative solutions, we will explore the vital role indigenous peoples play in climate action. The event will also be a knowledge learning and exchange between regions of Africa and Asia.
