Growing up on the shores of Lake Victoria, I saw the impacts of climate change firsthand. Driven by my love for the lake and my community, I embarked on a journey to combat environmental degradation. Now, through education, sustainable agriculture, and eco-friendly initiatives, I am working to restore the natural beauty and resilience of our ecosystem while empowering the next generation to be environmental stewards.
The solar panels that were erected on my grandfather's farm in a village near Ben Guerir, Morocco, initiated a new epoch, whereby tradition and innovation actually coexisted. This transition to solar panel energy is a decision brought on by the increasingly precarious situation with climate change and limited resources. Our solar panels are now a symbol of commitment toward sustainability and a bright future. As the Grandfather said, "In every ray of sunlight, we find a new beginning." Learn from our journey of switching our farm to renewable energy and how it changed our approach toward agriculture and the environment.
Have you ever imagined growing food from waste? We did it! We were capable of turning waste into potential material for sustainable agriculture while empowering the local rural community to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects, preserving the local natural resources, and protecting the environment despite all the challenges our country is facing.
As a young 11-year-old girl in primary school, I was denied a right. Human-wildlife conflict around my area led to us being fearful, with children seeking to drop out of school for the sake of their safety. My personal school experience, which I’m proud to discuss, stretched my mindset and belief systems, making me who I am today. I envision a world where every child has a safe place to learn and a child’s education is not compromised by environmental factors like human-wildlife conflict, especially with ongoing climate change.
Let's not lose more than we stand to gain. Deforestation is causing extensive loss of our biodiversity, hunger and extreme poverty due to compromised rainfall patterns when trees that act as rainfall catchments in tropical forests are constantly cut down for commercial reasons. A bleak future awaits a generation which will not put in place accurate measures to denounce deforestation.
Moonlight Initiative is a youth lead sustainability and circular economy consultancy based n Kenya. We were funded last year by the International Bamboo and Rattan organization to create a national documentary on Bamboo adoption in Kenya. In the documentary, we cover different aspects of the Bamboo value chain in creating employment for Kenyans while at the same time mitigating the negative effects of climate change.

New reforms to education in Africa are transforming learning opportunities for the continent's youth, but learners still lack access to relevant skills that will help them secure employment opportunities. What can be done? I am passionate about science, one of the things about science that drew me to it is the fact it's about the discovery of knowledge. I believe that Africa, and especially Kenya, has all the resources that it needs to keep its people healthy, yet people are not enjoying the best health. One way that I believe I can solve that problem is by researching medicinal plants because I believe we have those resources we just need to find out the compounds in plants that we can utilize to keep ourselves healthy. Everything that we need to be healthy is provided to us by nature, we just have to tap through research and also by educating people on how to apply those principles and knowledge that we learned from research into being healthy. I envision a world where there is equality, quality education, improved health services for all, and good, effective and transformative leaders.
Food is vital for survival, so making money of it comes with a sweet feeling knowing one can pay bills easily. The rural livelihood is always linked to the forest, putting the forest at the expense of risk. Should we eat at the forest's expense? Or, should the forest be preserved while the people starve? This is the current situation that has put the Indigenous people of Onigambari forest reserve communities in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria, in a dilemma over the past years of their existence.
Forest in the stomach is about actions that balance both forest and farming to coexist together in an environmentally sustainable manner.
Hello, I am Salman from Iraq. I always believe that the strength of the presence of the two rivers in Iraq is from the Sumerian stretch from the far south of the marshes of Iraq towards the north of the Mesopotamian Valley. We pushed hard for everyone's right to have access to water. The right to the environment and water is one of the most prominent and most important rights that we believe in.
