The Africa Climate Ambassadors Programme provides an opportunity to galvanize Africa's Climate Ambassadors to take action on climate change.

Joined July 2022
Africa bears some of the highest costs of a climate crisis it did not create. This year, the Africa Youth Climate Finance Fellowship (AYCFF), a flagship advocacy programme by Jacobโ€™s Ladder Africa, responded by equipping young Africans to lead in an area that cuts across every green sector, climate finance. Over the course of nine months, 30 fellows from 18 different African countries participated in world-class training, developed grounded policy briefs, and engaged various stakeholders globally, amplifying youth perspectives across Africaโ€™s climate finance discourse. AYCFF strengthened not only individual capacity but also a continent-wide community of practice prepared to influence systems, decisions, and investment flows. ๐Ÿค As we build on this momentum, we are seeking strategic partners and funders to scale the Fellowshipโ€™s impact in future cohorts. ๐Ÿ“ฉ Partner with us: [email protected] @JacobsLadder_A @TheAfricaCenter @TutuFellows @ClimateActAfric @giz_gmbh @ACAProgramme @Sellahb @Bilha_Ndirangu @James_I_Mwangi @ClimateWed @AfricanYouthFdn @TuzindukeYouthG @WorldBankKenya @KeTreasury @moneyacademyKE @macirearibot @r_razafiarivony @elbethel_alemaw @tenge_valentine @monica_mhina @A_Farole @HowardMwesigwa @inkoskaz @paschmaria_ @diolutobe @frankenfk
