Eco-Leadership Series
Empowering Young People for Climate Action
About the Initiative
The Youth Climate Empowerment Series is a dynamic and youth-driven project aimed at shifting the mindset of young people in Ghana to become proactive climate advocates and change-makers. Through a series of workshops, training sessions, and global peer-learning campaigns, the initiative empowers youth to understand climate challenges, mobilize their communities, and take bold, localized climate actions.
This series is grounded in the belief that young people are not just beneficiaries of climate policies, they are active stakeholders and solution creators. By equipping them with knowledge, leadership skills, and tools, we prepare them to build sustainable communities and shape the future of climate action in Ghana and beyond.
Project Goals

Provide access to relevant tools, knowledge, and networks.
Promote peer-to-peer learning with young leaders across the globe.
Amplify youth voices in environmental policy and community development.
