We have the power today to change tomorrow
People can only fight or contribute better to what they understand. Climate Change is a human-activity problem and as such, it will take the masses to fight back. Capacity Building gives power to the people to effect change and we do that with our Flagship Projects;
- African Climate Leaders Fellowship
- African Climate Leaders Conference
- EcoLead project targeted at building the capacity of young children and adolescents on climate issues.
AFRICAN CLIMATE LEADERS FELLOWSHIP
The African Climate Leadership Fellowship, an initiative of GreenLead, is a transformative fellowship targeted at connecting young people on the continent of Africa to address climate problems in their communities through education, internships to gain practical skills, and community projects. Fellows develop an understanding of climate science and core areas affected by climate change, practical skills to inspire action, leadership, organization, and communication skills, inspiring climate solutions to local problems while learning from a network of peers and mentors.
