SDG7 YOUTH CONSTITUENCY PANEL AT AFRICA CLIMATE WEEK IN LIBREVILLE, GABON


Grateful to have moderated this very important conversation on Financing Youth Led Solutions and Initiatives : A Catalyst for the Emergence of A Sustainable Future which took place at the Africa Climate Week 2022.

The event provided additional insights on a better approach to solving the challenges young people face when sourcing funding for their clean energy initiatives and projects.

Many thanks to the organizers for enabling a very insightful experience which provided new knowledge that directly impacts us as youths. The event left youth participants even more inspired to keep adding their quota towards bridging the energy access gap.
