ABOUT CLIMART ACTION

Student Leadership for Climate Action!

Climart Africa is a registered Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in Kenya, dedicated to fostering student leadership in climate action. Through non-academic scholarships and leadership training, we empower students from low-income backgrounds to drive meaningful environmental change.

At Climart Africa, we believe that solving the climate crisis in Africa begins with empowered, skilled, and connected young people. By investing in students, especially those from low-income backgrounds, we unlock their potential to become the next generation of climate leaders.

THE CLIMATE CRISIS

Despite contributing less than 4% to global greenhouse gas emissions, Africa faces severe climate change impacts, including rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, droughts, and floods, which threaten agriculture, water resources, infrastructure, and public health.

Youth Awareness Gap in Climate Action

In Kenya, 60.5% of university students are unaware of the National Climate Action Plan, highlighting a major gap in youth climate awareness, leadership, and engagement.

No Integration of Climate Education in Kenya’s Curriculum

Climate change remains a major challenge, yet Kenya’s curriculum lacks dedicated climate education to equip students with essential knowledge and skills.

Lack of Climate Education in African Classrooms

Across Africa, millions graduate without understanding climate change, despite the continent being among the hardest hit.

Learning Gaps Delay Africa’s Environmental Response

Education can solve global challenges, yet many African students lack the skills for innovation and leadership.
