In 2022, as the world heads toward the next UN Climate Change Conference, which will take place in November in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt - the fourth African country to host the annual event since 1995.

Climate activists around the world are relentlessly pursuing global solidarity and transformational change with a clear and urgent message: act now to protect people and save our planet from the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

As a tribute to those who persist, the Voices of Change series looks at the determination and drive of young people mobilizing for climate justice. It brings into perspective the severity of the vast and varying impacts of the climate crisis, while highlighting the growing movement to protect our future.

We explore the vision and values of young climate activists and their courage to persevere, against all odds, and make invaluable contributions to the global climate movement.

Kenyan climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti, a Green Climate Fund Youth Champion, and the Founder of the Green Generation Initiative, calls for global solidarity and compassion in our efforts to address the world's growing climate and ecological crises. about Elizabeth Wathuti
