AY4C – African Youth4Climate

Together for Green Goals!

African Youth4Climate (AY4C) is a federating initiative aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Youth4Climate Manifesto. Launched at COY16 in Glasgow (UK) following the Milan Pre-COP26, it brings together young African leaders, NGOs, green enterprises, and CSOs who are eager to share their experiences, develop innovative ideas, and promote concrete climate action.

Initially a simple initiative, Africa Youth4Climate has now become an officially registered continental umbrella association, driven by co-founders from several African countries.
