climate change professionals

The 'Climate Change Professionals' project aims to establish a vibrant community of youth and professionals who specialize in climate change and urban farming, particularly in African cities. This initiative recognizes the urgent need to address climate challenges and promote sustainable practices in urban settings, where populations are rapidly growing. By bringing together individuals with diverse skills and expertise, the project plans to create a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and provides practical solutions to the pressing issues posed by climate change. The project will focus on forming a community by July 2026, building a resource library containing academic papers and insights from international experts by mid-July, and hosting its inaugural workshop by the end of July. Through these milestones, participants will gain valuable knowledge and tools, empowering them to implement urban farming strategies and engage effectively with their local communities. Ultimately, the 'Climate Change Professionals' project aspires to enhance the resilience of urban areas against climate impacts while promoting sustainable livelihoods for the youth.
