They need to have hands on experience and practical skills to successfully engage in climate action. #climateaction #climatechange #ClimateAction #nova #novathenaturebuddy #childrensbooks #climateeducation

Join us for an upcoming webinar, Case for Change: Prioritizing Children and Youth in Climate Action. The discussion is based on the importance and innovative approaches of engaging children and youth, placing them at the center of climate action, and lifting their voices to call for climate justice as active change-makers and not passive recipients of adult-led processes.  This webinar is an expert dialogue on experience sharing and lessons learned on efforts undertaken in placing children and youth at the center of climate change as we prepare for meaningful children participation at COP 29. Join our experts Paula Kahumbu Zipporah Musyoki - Webola and Assefa Tofu (PhD) to learn more. #climatechange #climateaction #childrenparticipationinclimateaction
