    Africa Climate Summit: what is it and what does it mean for young people in Africa?

    First and foremost, we hope that the Africa Climate Summit will prioritise the voices and concerns of us - young people. We are the ones who will inherit the consequences of climate inaction, and our perspectives and ideas should be central to discussions.
