Young people are committed to taking action to protect the future of our planet. In this blog, Tessa Marley highlights how your investment is valuable to support young people build a better tomorrow.
70% of youth power say that climate action is their top priority
If climate action is young people’s priority, shouldn’t it be yours too?
3.6 billion people live in environments that are highly vulnerable to climate change. Climate change puts water and food security under threat. For the first time, this was taken seriously at COP27 and adaptation and mitigation programmes were outlined.
At Restless Development, we are action makers, we are creating the changes that COP27 was only talking about. The Climate Justice programme in Uganda is empowering young people like Franco to plant trees for soil stability and biodiversity. Farming makes up 60% of Ugandan employment so it is vital to adapt to these climatic changes.
India is also experiencing devastating effects from changing climates for example the recent monsoons and ruinous floods in New Delhi. To combat these disasters Restless Development is training young people to lead action on their priorities and solutions.
Youth Climate Activists are now keeping the policymakers accountable to their word.
With your donation, young climate activists such as Franco and many more worldwide are equipped to make their livelihoods more resilient.
Please donate now to help give training to young people to find solutions to the climate crisis and secure their rightful claim to a safer planet. The appeal closes midday 18th July.
