Mame is proof that being a mentee in the Pledge for Nature Launchpad can propel your climate leadership career to new heights.

In 2025, Mame joined the Pledge for Nature Launchpad as a mentee from Senegal.
She worked closely with her mentor to develop her project ideas and her vision for a sustainable future in Africa. Now, she is making a difference, one step at a time.

On this International Day of Biological Diversity, we are celebrating her work addressing soil degradation, water shortages, and lower crop yields. Through BioHeroïnes, a women-led group that turns organic waste into biogas and fertiliser in Senegal’s groundnut basin, she works to create practical solutions for her community and encourages youth leadership and environmental awareness both locally and beyond.

Applications to join the 2026 Launchpad are open.

Over the past six weeks, we’ve been building intentionally through the Campus Focal Point Programme. Our focal points have engaged in sessions designed to strengthen not just their passion, but their capacity to lead and deliver real impact.

From turning passion into income, to grant writing and strategic partnerships, project management, systems thinking, health and safety, and communicating social impact; each session has been a step toward raising more equipped and confident young leaders.

To every trainer and our amazing facilitator who showed up, shared knowledge, and poured into this process; thank you. Your contribution is shaping the work that will happen in communities across Africa.
This is what building looks like. And we’re just getting started.

We came to your city 🥳

For over eight weeks our interns worked with our partner organisations to gain experiential experience in deploying waste management and circular economy solutions to solve issues facing their communities.

From packaging alternatives, to plastic recycling, composting, and sustainable food production, our interns are ready to develop their own solutions.

We are grateful to our super amazing partners for supporting this concluding phase of the Z-Sustainability Lab.

Cheers to more sustained impact 👏👏

🌿Meet the innovators who are shaping Africa’s circular future.

The Z-Sustainability Lab Waste Management and Circular Economy Cohort supports young leaders across Africa in addressing waste challenges and reimagining sustainable systems. Through climate education and green job training, participants acquire the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to effect meaningful change. These individuals are not only learning but also developing solutions that contribute to a thriving and inclusive green economy.

This initiative exemplifies youth-led climate action. Together, we are shaping Africa’s sustainable future.

Who do you see, tag them in the comments.

We did it, Z-Sustainability Lab 2025

In October 2025, we called on Gen Z in Africa to develop the skills to deliver solutions in waste management and the circular economy.

It was a ride working with young people in Africa, local organisations and groups, partners, and facilitators to make this knowledge available and inclusive to every participant, and we made incredible progress.

We want to give a big thank you to our partners, facilitators, and every participant.

This is just the beginning. Our graduates are joining the innovator community, and we look forward to sharing the amazing solutions they are working on.

This program shows our ongoing commitment to empowering young people and their communities in Africa. Now, we are working toward a sustainable future by supporting Africa’s green economy and tackling pollution.

We’re really excited for what comes next.

Congratulations again to all our innovators.
