Africa cannot be built on entitlement. We must innovate, invest, and earn our place at the global table, not just demand inclusion. It’s time to use our knowledge, drive real change, and stop waiting for others to define our future.
Despite Nairobi being a global hub for environmental diplomacy, many communities in Kenya remain disconnected from climate conversations. From young farmers in the North Eastern region to women in Kibera, the impact of climate change is real but so is the gap in participation and policy.
