There's no such thing as a small gesture when 30+ million people are doing it.

Every action counts and nor matter how small they are, they become powerful when when individuals and communities join forces.

Community mobilisation is key to achieving common objectives, especially when it comes to social changes and environmental protection.

Today marked the official launch of the Cameroon Youth Climate Council, .

YCC Cameroon is a platform for every youth-led climate focused organization and individuals to participate in national and global climate-related decision-making processes, promote networking and encourage effective collaboration amongst youths and youth led organisations.

Moreover, this climate council will amplify youth voices and create a legitimate participatory basis for influencing public decision-making in climate change matters.

It was a pleasure to share the panel with incredible young leaders, to discuss meaningful youth participation in national and global climate policy spaces and ambitions of young people to move from protest to concrete actions.
