However, with an increasingly young population, the continent could leverage its youth to drive sustainable practices through education. A new HSRC paper presents a transformative approach that could empower young people to become climate leaders, influence policy and implement local solutions for a more resilient future.

Abstract

Climate change could have devastating impacts on nutrition, economies, and public health throughout Africa. However, with an increasingly young population, the continent could leverage its youth to drive sustainable practices through education. A new HSRC paper presents a transformative approach that could empower young people to become climate leaders, influence policy and implement local solutions for a more resilient future.
