🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥📣📣📣.

My @JacobsLadder_A team and I have had the most amazing time over the last couple of months as we geared up for today.

We did it!!

We all ran 21Km and ran 10KM races with amazing personal finish times.

The greatest take away is that when people come together in one accord there’s nothing they cannot do.

This is the spirit we carry in everything we do as JLA- pushing the boundaries, moving as one reach, challenging ourselves to reach deeper and go further.

Well done team- super proud of you all @chela_karrency @Mandakhabetsa @Bilha_Ndirangu

The Nairobi Declaration committed to making youth and children central to climate action, emphasizing their inclusion in climate policies and discussions. But how well has this been implemented since the Africa Climate Summit?

Join us at the ACS@ONE Thematic Convenings and the ACS@ONE Conference as we review progress on these promises and ensure that young voices continue to drive climate accountability.

At the core of every innovative idea is a problem being solved.
But first, the problem must be identified.
