Youth in Climate Action and Environmental Conservation Program (YCAEC)


The Youth in Climate Action and Environmental Conservation (YCAEC) at AAYFO is dedicated to addressing the urgent need for climate action and environmental preservation. Recognizing that climate change

affects everyone, we integrate these issues into all our initiatives. Through education, awareness campaigns, and leading by example, we strive to inspire behavior change and promote sustainable living practices. By highlighting the real-time impacts of climate change and collaborating with experts, we empower individuals to make a difference in their communities and beyond, especially young people. Our efforts extend to advocating for effective environmental policies, promoting social accountability, and implementing eco-friendly initiatives, through innovation, education, and cultural practices to combat climate change. With a commitment to sustainable development, we equip youth with the knowledge and skills to innovate solutions that mitigate the effects of climate change and foster environmental resilience.

As coastal cities in Africa and Asia face the growing threat of climate-related hazards, particularly impacting vulnerable communities, our program aims to address these challenges through proactive environmental stewardship. By engaging in advocacy, capacity-building, and promoting sustainable practices, we strive to create a world where every individual, regardless of age, plays a role in safeguarding the environment.

Through collective action and unwavering determination, we believe that positive change is achievable, and every effort, no matter how small, contributes to building a more sustainable future.
