KU ENVIRONMENT CLUB

Strengthening Youth Participation in Climate Conversations! @Oayouthkenya participated in the Green Week Mazingira Challenge Day at Kenyatta University as part of ongoing efforts under the #SikilizaSautiYetu Project to amplify youth voices on issues affecting communities and the future of the environment. Representing the organization were Programmes Coordinator Sandra Chepkogei and @KYCA_Council Members @JUSTINEMAGANG10 and @MachukaOgeto who contributed to the panel discussion focused on #climateaction, policy, and livelihoods. The conversation highlighted the growing need to involve young people in shaping #sustainablesolutions and creating opportunities that connect climate action to everyday realities. At OAY-Kenya, we continue working with young people through dialogues, #advocacy spaces, community engagement, and partnerships that encourage meaningful participation in climate and development conversations. The #GreenWeek engagement offered another opportunity to connect with students, exchange ideas, and encourage practical action towards environmental #sustainability. What climate solution would you like to see young people champion more in Kenya? @kunec250 #YouthVoices #ClimateJustice #GreenWeek2026 #Nairogreen
