what they say

“The workshop on post-COP 28 organized by Somalia Youth Climate Platform was truly impactful, providing a platform for critical discussions on the future of climate action in our country. It equipped us with the knowledge and strategies needed to effectively contribute to the global climate agenda, and it was instrumental in strengthening the role of youth in driving sustainable solutions. As the Director of Somalia Youth Hub, I am confident that the insights gained from this workshop will empower our youth to lead the way in addressing the challenges of climate change.”

“The post-COP28 workshop organized by Somalia Youth Climate Platform was transformational not only for its work in amplifying the voices of the Somali youth in global climate discussions but also availed opportunities for networking with organizations, climate activists, and international stakeholders alike. It equipped us with knowledge and strategies necessary to drive impactful climate action in our communities and fostered partnerships that will enhance our collective efforts in this fight. Therefore, it sets a continued and meaningful climate action at this workshop through the power of collaboration, traditional knowledge, and youth-led initiatives.”

"Attending the workshop on biodiversity and the blue economy organized by Somalia Youth Climate Platform in Collaboration with Somali Greenpeace Association was a transformative experience for me. As a young volunteer committed to serving my community, I now deeply understand the profound connection between preserving our natural resources and securing a sustainable future. This knowledge empowers me to contribute more effectively and inspire others to protect and harness the potential of our environment for the benefit of all.”

“After attending COP28 supported by Somalia Youth Climate Platform, I was deeply inspired to deepen my knowledge and involvement in climate activism and sustainable development. I've now made valuable connections with other young environmental champions across Africa and the world. Through the networks, we've secured small grants to implement impactful educational and tree planting initiatives in our schools at the communities. This experience has been incredibly valuable and has really ramped up my passion for making a positive difference. I'm excited to continue being an active voice and driving change in my community.”
