The Zero Carbon Africa Impact programme is an initiative with the ambitious goal of bolstering Africa’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions. Our core focus is to enhance the capacity and knowledge of young people, positioning them as climate action leaders. By equipping the youth with the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources, we aim to harness their potential as catalysts for transformative change.
