The fight against climate change demands collective action and the meaningful inclusion of everyone

Opio Joseph (Founder and CEO - Climact Africa)

The fight against climate change demands collective action and the meaningful inclusion of everyone. Policymakers, youth, minority and marginalized groups, the elderly, local communities, political leaders, advocates and people of all genders must have a seat at the table. Every voice matters in shaping resilient and sustainable solutions.

Education is key. Children must be taught from a young age about the environmental consequences both positive and negative—of human activities. This awareness is crucial in understanding how these actions impact our health, livelihoods and the planet we all share.

Only through unity, inclusivity and early education can we build a future where people and the planet thrive together.
