#LCOYKenya2023 was successful and we are eager to unite with fellow youth @Coy18UAE and @COP28_UAE in Dubai. There is need for continous action on Climate Empowerment of youth which includes capacity building, local actions and grassroots initiatives alongside global efforts.

It is essential that we move away from an economy that depletes resources to one that rejuvenates them. Prioritizing profit over people often results in social injustices, and this focus needs to change for us to achieve a just transition. #ClimateJustice

Climate change is not only an environmental issue but also a social justice issue that affects different groups of people in different ways. That's why we need to center diverse youth voices in the climate change discourse to ensure that no one is left behind. @Environment_Ke

At LCOY, we stressed climate finance's crucial role, advocating for improved accessibility to empower youth groups in vulnerable communities. Our talks urged systemic changes for fair fund distribution for empowering youth who are key for impactful change. #LCOYKe

Climate change is impacting lives, hitting vulnerable communities the hardest. Discussing climate adaptation and resilience is key to raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and mobilizing action to cope with and recover from climate shocks and stresses. #ClimateAction #LCOYKe

Africa Nazarene University's Vice-Chancellor challenged us to be proactive for our continent. He emphasized that inaction in safeguarding Africa from climate change is a betrayal to our continent. @africanazarene #LCOYKe #ClimateAction

Listening to youth share their perspectives and solutions on the climate crisis was inspiring, as they highlighted the gaps in the current climate policy landscape in Kenya and presented policy recommendations for achieving the #NDCs for climate action. @Environment_Ke #LCOYKe

“There is a knowledge gap on climate change among youths & thus VSO is here to make sure that the youths voices are heard. Currently, youths only participate in climate change without involvement”, said Valentine Maina during #LcoyKe conference ktmn.co.ke/lcoy-2023-keny…

Concluding #LCOYKe 2023. Kenyan youth from various counties gathered under the theme "Bridging the gap between policy and practice." This dynamic conference provided a platform for learning, listening, and shaping the future of youth engagement in Kenya's climate initiatives.

More than 65% of the world population are youth and live in eco-anxiety. #ClimateCrisis has led to youth raising their voice to advocate for #ClimateActionNow putting them at a place of influencing positive change while calling out emitters to pay for #lossanddamages
