Why it matters
Empowering African youth in climate negotiations is essential for ensuring the continent's specific environmental and economic needs are addressed in global policy.
DAR ES SALAAM: TANZANIA has begun training young climate negotiators from across Africa, bringing together more than 60 participants from 20 countries to strengthen the continent’s voice in global climate talks.
The initiative follows a decision by African Heads of State at the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in February this year, selecting Tanzania to host a specialised centre for training young Africans in climate change negotiations.
