Harnessing Youth power for the Great Green Wall (GGW) and Climate Action

The youth represent the majority of the GGW countries’ populations. They have talents, and potential that, if nurtured, can help address current environmental, socio-political, and economic challenges in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa. The youth are also conducting brilliant initiatives in various areas such as land restoration, agroforestry products’ value chain development, businesses, and climate action that can be harnessed for the realization of the GGW. This webinar wants to focus on learning about those success stories of the youth in the environment and discussing how they can be enhanced for the betterment of our world.

Through various sessions, the webinar will showcase the youth voices from the field, key notes from youth leaderships, as well as a high-level panel to discuss the future of youth contribution to the GGW. We will learn and interact with youth speakers from the GGW countries, namely Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger, Mali, Ethiopia, and Sudan.
